Subject: Character sets in folder names

One of my users has reported some problems with the character set 
available in folder names:

1. $ and #
Using A(dd folder) in the folders menu, it is possible to create folders 
with $ and #, and they can be saved to without problems. It is not 
however permitted to quote them in the Fcc: field (Pine beeps).

2. Upper and lower case

On a unix system it is possible to create folders with names in either
case, for example ABC and abc, and these are distinct folders (different
files on unix). However, L(ist folders) will only show one of them (the 
one in capitals). 

Both these seem to me to be bugs.

I realise that what I meant to say here is that the folders are created 
on a unix system, but it is as viewed from PC-Pine (or Wpine) that the 
distinct folders cannot be seen.
