Hi G00r00
I know I need to update to the A47 version, but I have too many things on my
plate at the moment, and I am also unable to work due to massive disc
problems. I can't sit in front of the PC non-stop and do everything because I
want to do a clean installation of the A47 with data transfer to /mysticbbs
and no longer to /home/mystic/mysticbbs/..... There are a few things that
need to be done, but it's not going so quickly with the disc problems.

Yes, I realise that the addon/option would have to harmonise the filenames
all to lower case and without spaces that are previously replaced by underscores
"_" before sending these files via the FTN mailer with a TIC file to it.
The other question in general is whether it doesn't also make sense that file
uploads are generally harmonised and stored on the hard disk in lower case
and without spaces which are replaced by underscores "_". Then the problem would
always be solved in any case.

As far as I know, A47 users are also affected by the same problem, so it
seems to me that this problem is not fixed yet. As I said, it would be best
to have a parameter that you can switch on/off. So that the religion of the 20th
century does not collide with the religion of the 21st century. There
are different views on what needs to be solved where and when 8.3 or
harmonised long file names.
