It'd matter the other way.  Since bboisvert@ and b.boisvert@ are both
RFC-compliant email addresses and GMail behaves properly with each,
they're fine.  What GMail is doing is saying that both of those (along
with various other permutations) are really just aliases.  Kind of
like how some servers let you append arbitrary stuff in front of a
plus sign in front of your username
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that won't affect delivery, but
will let you track where address came from.
