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_.

Care to provide actual justification for that statement.

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

_Your_ .mailmap file is your issue.

So which standards do you choose to follow and which do you choose to ignore?
