why are they not lowercase?
The only one that matters is RFC 5321, "The local-part of a mailbox MUST

Whilst I appreciate case-sensitivity, I have *ALWAYS* thought of email
addresses as being case-insensitive. i.e. [email protected] and
[email protected] should go to exactly the same place. Logging in should
use case-sensitive passwords but not usernames (in my opinion). I don't
think this is a bug with RC but again, that is a personal opinion.
