I'm not sure which message you're replying to (since you neither keep
the Reply-To headers in your messages nor have you quoted sufficient
context) but the current behaviour is clearly wrong: it works on neither
case-sensitive nor case-insensitive platforms. On case-sensitive
platforms, some paths are gratuitously downcased. On case-insensitive
platforms, there are filename conflicts. What reason is there ever to
downcase filenames?
Peace,
