Public bug reported:
Within the WebUI pages, e.g., https://temp.balug.org/cgi-
bin/mailman/admin/balug-test/members , the subscriber addresses are
shown correctly with preserved letter case, e.g., my fellow list admin
Michael Paoli's address is shown as entered, as
[email protected] . By contrast, the roster at
https://temp.balug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/roster/balug-test shows his
address with lettercase converted to lower, as "michael.paoli at
cal.berkeley.edu".
This is with a new installation of Mailman 2.1.8, and I've confirmed the
same behaviour with several prior 2.1.x installations.
Admittedly, mixed lettercase in the local parts of e-mail addresses has
no functional importance on _most_ SMTP systems, there is nothing in the
RFCs requiring case-insignificance for local parts (only for FQDNs), so
this loss of entered data could cause some users difficulties.
