SUGGESTION
In order to help reducing errors while typing and searching names from
the file system, lowercase file names are more helpful than mixed case
names.
Please consider renaming all Initial letter followed by all lowercase
names to plain lowercase (Ref:: .vimrc, .emacs, .screenrc ...)
An example:
/etc/Muttrc => /etc/muttrc
Also the directory names in /etc traditionally follow convention:
/etc/<package>/<directories>
So please canonicalize:
/etc/Muttrc.d/
into:
/etc/mutt/rc/
/etc/mutt/conf/
/etc/mutt/config/
... or equivalent

Hi,
actually I've just re-read this bug and thought a little bit, I honestly
think that it is not wise to rename those files given that we are not
breaking any Linux Filesystem Hierarchy rules and, especially, it will
be difficult to notify the user and asking them to change the scripts
that are relying on those filenames just for the sake of changing the
uppercase with lowercase.
Just think of a situation where a sysadmin is provisioning multiple
machines and using cfengine to distribute /etc/Muttrc, or for example
someone who has that directory in git and it is sync'ing that dir
multiple times a day. I honestly don't feel right to ask them to change
their scripts or their procedure just because we want to change the
capitalization of the files without any real reason.
I hope you understand but for me this is a wontfix and I'm therefore
going to resolve this bug.
Cheers
Antonio
