Not entirely true in extreme cases. It is possible to setup mail services to act with case-sensitivity, making jon.angliss different from Jon.Angliss. It is a pain to do, and requires a lot of configuring in multiple places, which is why 99% of the time, email addresses are case-insensitive. I had this come up recently which is how I know, we had a user with a case-sensitive username/email, but the mail services wouldn't delivery it because it couldn't find a username that matched his... The username was ZestyO, and trying to mail zestyo@ would fail with user unknown. To get mail to be delivered correctly, you'd have to screw with the mail server setup... so I just changed his username (was in a lazy mood day) ;) - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt iQA/AwUBPVPqeyuD6BT4/R9zEQJwEwCeJMnr9TvWrh2vVD5Vd0ley7YXUQoAn3GM 4o2lkmtjF8rzD5HcKdFiSsVT =/YdT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
