I'm sorry if you felt pressured, but it seemed premature to dismiss my 
suggestion the first time you did so, as the only alternative proposal 
offered was an incomplete regexp that did not cover all jpeg files. Kim 
and others since refined it into a better solution, and I agree that 
solution is a better one for most image files. I still think there is a 
general underlying bug here though that is not specific to image files, 
but to transfer of files from sources that do not preserve case (ISO 
format CDs, DOS/Windows machines, SD Cards, floppy disks etc). But you 
seem to think it is more important not to use sh-mode for .LOGIN than it 
is to fix this bug, so I will leave it alone now.
