 interesting.  Do you all feel its a good idea to "lowercase and chop" all
 usernames like this, and just let the user have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" incorrectly
 in their dial up config, or do you think its better to correct for it?
 
 I think the RewriteUsername would cut down alot of tech support calls, and
 really its harmless so long as its only their dialup config that is
 braindead and not their mail config etc.
 
 I think it's not a good idea.
 Remeber that the password will not be touched, so if your customer forgot to
 turn off caps lock, the authentication will fail anyway, and support calls
 will happen.

FWIW, we like to automatically LC() the realm.  Enough of our 
users think that their e-mail address ought to be upper case - or 
lower case - or proper case - that we decided it was simpler to 
accept them all.  Especially since our name has odd capitalization 
anyway  (cyberTours. Yup - sure looks funny at the beginnig of a 
sentence.)
