We could perhaps add defadvice to **wiki** for those who want to do global change in their emacs environment, something like: (if (< emacs-major-version 25) (defadvice mml2015-epg-check-user-id (around downcase activate) (ad-set-arg 1 (downcase (ad-get-arg 1))) (ad-set-arg 2 (downcase (ad-get-arg 2))) ad-do-it)) totally untested -- also now that I finished that 'before might also work. ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

It's caused by behaviour in mml2015.el (hence upstream). `mml2015-epg-check-user-id' uses `equal' to compare the recipient from the composition buffer with the addresses from the matching key. The simplest way to get the desired behaviour would be to `downcase' both strings before comparing. ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

For the right-hand side of an e-mail address (the stuff after the @; the e-mail domain), the DNS label there is case-insensitive by definition. There may be some additional thinking to be done here when thinking about non-ASCII DNS labels in the RHS, though -- should we be normalizing the domain names in doing the search? using punycode? The stuff before the @ is a bit more problematic. According to the standards documents, the left-hand-side of an e-mail address (the "domain-specific" part) is up to the mail domain to parse and process. So it would not be a violation of the public specifications for the operator of the MX for example.org to provide three distinct mailboxes for al...@example.org and al...@example.org and al...@example.org. However, i know of no mail providers that do so, and anyone proposing to do such a thing should have their head examined. Examining GnuPG's interface here, it looks like gpg already does case-insensitive matching when searching for an e-mail address surrounded by angle-brackets. So where is the case-insensitive lookup happening? Is this a bug in mml-mode, or in notmuch-emacs? --dkg ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
[Gaudenz Steinlin] Bug#810784: should match email adress case insensitive when sending encrypted mail
--- Begin Message --- Package: notmuch-emacs Version: 0.21-3 Severity: normal When sending encrypted mail the key lookup to encrypt to is done case sensitive on the mail address. As mail addresses are case insensitive this should be done case insensitive. Otherwise keys for users which for some reason have uppercase letters in their email address in the key UID are not found. Gaudenz P.S.: I'm not completely sure if this part of the mail sending is done by notmuch-emacs or some other part of emacs.
