I agree with what was said about retaining case insensitivity while
also retaining the original header information. A friend of mine was
unkindly flamed at by the mailer at ihnp4 which had rejected a legal
address sent to me at houxm via ihnp4, excepting the fact that all the
host names had been capitalized. The mail software running at ihnp4
was case sensitive, causing the messages to fail, however the sending
agent (the VMS mailer on mit-jcf) had no business capitalizing the
address my friend supplied, which was in lowercase.
