>Description:
>From a browser, accessing the url
www.bzs.org/Diabetes/

results in index.shtml being recognized correctly.
However, clicking on a directory index generated by apache into
another directory that contains "index.shtml" results in a generated
index rather than using "index.shtml"
>How-To-Repeat:
Yes,
www.bzs.org/Diabetes/
click on members only
use "apache@dummy.org" as the password
click on 'mail'
click on any month - you will get a dir listing instead of index.shtml
>Fix:
Nope, I'm a 'C' dummy
