Hmm. It may be that some other error is causing the abort, and this is
just the last message that was output. Try setting Help | Options |
Debug on Error, and seeing where the real error is.

If that doesn't help, set "debug_on_entry" on the top level function,
and trace thru to where the file names are given different cases, and
see if you can fix it.

Just for the record, I've never seen this problem. I use Gnus for both
email and news, and I have w3 loaded to read HTML email.

Good Luck!
