Why? I don't know. Maybe because I and the previous author never thought of
that, and nobody asked before? ;)

It's a limit in the configuration file, so it's (very) difficult to change.

It will be placed in the directory where you have your mailer configured to
place it. I don't think it's upto a tosser to handle this directly. I think
most sysops handle this manually...

From origin fmail is a dos program, so it only allowed uppercase filenames
and paths. When I come accross this, I change it to allow both upper and
lower case. But I probably missed a few. If you point them out, I will
change that for the next release.

Passwords are mixcase where it is allowed by the standards.


Bye, Wilfred.
