Yes, and that's somewhere on my to-do list (as the person that gets all the replies from the people that can't read) but it's not trivial as our email lives in an entirely separate location to the database. > If OSM usernames would not allow spaces and be case sensitive > it would be possible to make the OSM usernames an email adress. Well if we suppressed a zillion other characters as well. Actually case sensitivity is not an issue - everything to the left of the @ is not (by standard) case insensitive. Many servers treat it as such but the standards do not require that so any mail client should not rely on it being case insensitive when replying.
