OK. I read these differently. The standard is that the local part _IS_ case sensitive, but the practical implications are not nice (especially at delivery time, as you noted). So, the later RFC recommends delivery behaviour which ignores part of what the earlier standard specified. Most of us probably follow the latter advice, yet the standard still honours case. And just as well, for the sake of those few masochists out there who actually implement case-sensitive email accounts. Anyway - your original question has been answered, and Courier does default to case-sensitive, while providing for that to be disabled. So long, Patrick. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc. Develop an edge.
