   Agreed that it *should* be, but I just tested things again and it most   
   certainly is not.  I tested it by changing *ONLY* the case of the header in   
   the freqit.ini file, and repeating the test from a remote system.   
      
   Just to be clear what I'm talking about, I'm saying the section header in the   
   freqit.ini file (as in: [ALLFILES]) does not work if it's all caps.  When it   
   is lowercase it works as expected.   
      
   What I am *NOT* talking about is the file request netmail itself, on the   
   Subject line.  That can be written: FR: ALLFILES ... or FR: allfiles , and   
   either one works fine.   
      
   I welcome someone else trying this test and reporting results.
