why doesn't README file appear on my Apache website

Does anyone know why if I put a file named either README or README.txt on my apache website (ie http://people.apache.org/~cframpton/ApacheFlexRC/current/) it doesn't show up?  I have to name it readme for it to show.

Most probably due to an IndexIgnore directive in the mod_autoindex
config [1], that I don't think you can change - adding it in a
.htaccess only adds more patterns but you can't remove them.
Readme.txt is does show up.
