Is this a good idea? E-mail addresses *are* case-sensitive according to spec. There are probably a few random places out there that treat them as such. Why would you change your e-mail address' capitalization if there's no difference, anyway?

No, violates RFC.

To have them consistent for SUL? ;)
I proposed some time ago a whitelisting of hosts known not to use case sensitive on the user part. Just a dozen of domains would fill 90%+ of cases. Consider that for MZMcBride bug.
