What part of the email address is this going to lowercase? Only the
domain
name is case agnostic.
That is my understanding of RFC, too.  Let's see where this mail goes to
find out how much more lenient the real world is ;-).
Many email providers/servers are lenient when it comes to case in the 
local part of an email address (after all, they control the 
interpretation) but not every provider/server is and the RFC is VERY 
clear on this issue.
And in one of my projects it is _very_ clear that this strict 
interpretation of the RFC, which does not matter in reality, _actively_ 
_hurts_.

In the alternative, can I ask you to adjust my .mailmap in your free time?

Thankyouverymuch,
Dscho
