            Bug ID: 328777
           Summary: Photo search for contact email should be
                    case-insensitive
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11.3
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Some themes for the header of the messageviewer show a photo of the sender
inside the message viewer if the contact is known to akonadi. This does not
work, if the address in the From: field of the email has other spelling in
terms of upper and lower case characters than the email in akonadi's contacts.
E.g. akonadi knows john.doe at example.com and the From: field contains
John.Doe at example.com ==> no photo is shown.

This is easy to fix, just modify line 33 in
kdepim-4.11.4/messageviewer/header/contactdisplaymessagememento.cpp:
- searchJob->setQuery( Akonadi::ContactSearchJob::Email, emailAddress )
+ searchJob->setQuery( Akonadi::ContactSearchJob::Email, emailAddress,
Akonadi::ContactSearchJob::StartsWithMatch );

However, the default behavior of this function, i.e. using Match::ExactMatch to
find contacts based on emails is strange at all.

Reproducible: Always
