Any way to get SharePoint to STOP converting attachment file names to all lower case on inbound emails?

I have a document library that is successfully receiving and saving attachments from inbound emails. The problem is that it is taking my nice, mixed-case file names and converting them to all lower case. I have looked on the Internet for a solution and only found a bunch of "me too" people with the same issue. Is there any way to control this behavior? Since the file name becomes the link text it would be nice if SharePoint left it alone.

It's a known bug according to:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/thread/0daedbf4-ddd1-4dd9-b7f0-70c03dc4afc4/

(links to the update packages are there, too)

Thanks, Vinny. We are putting on the Feb. 2009 CU this morning. I must not have come up with the right Google search terms to find that.

No worries - I'm interested in hearing how it goes (as I'm sure are the guys on technet up there). Does the change take effect immediately after restart for all libraries? Only for newly-created libraries, (God forbid) the problem persists, etc.

The change workd and took effect after restart for all libraries. Thanks again.
