And when someone updates the packet password through        WV>> areafix it's converted to uppercase before storing in the        WV>> configuration file. So on outgoing packet files the packet password is        WV>> always uppercase only.               PQ> Oh the horror! There are people out there that I interface with that       don't        PQ> know that rule and insist on setting mixedcase. Evil people. Smelly        PQ> people. Ugly people...              On FMails side that's not a problem because it checks the passwords case       insensitive.              How they deal with it on their side is their problem. ;)              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 120/340 601 154/10 203/0 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
