Hi Ralf,

Quick question: Since common practice is case insensitivity in the local 
part of the address, I'd always assumed that was the norm.  I just 
quickly looked through RFCs 2822 (Internet Message Format) and 821 
(SMTP) and didn't see where either discussed the issue.  Could you 
point me to where it's specified?

Thanks,
David
