   Hi Paul,   
      
   On 2020-04-22 12:22:58, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>> You can't enter mixed or lowercase into the configuration program,   
    WV>> only uppercase. 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.

   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.
