This is correct rfc behaviour, the user name part of the email address
must be left unchanged, only the system storing it can perform
case-transformations on it, as opposed to the host, which should be
lower case, but as most email providers are cese-insensitive (is anyone
case-sensitive?)
Per the spec: LHSs of mailbox names have case sensitivity that is
implementation-dependent and must be treated as case-sensitive.
RHSs of mailbox names are -- these days -- domain names, and domain
names are case insensitive by their spec.
Well, that's what i said, or at least intended to.
Then i proposed having a list of common domain names which implement
mailbox names case insensitive, to compare its emails as such.
RFC 2822 and 1136, I think.
My think is that
they're 821 and 2821 :-)
