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
