           Summary: kaddressbook loses case of email local part when
                    importing from vCard file
    Classification: Unclassified

           Version: 4.10
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

When importing an address from a vCard file, the email address is converted to
lower case. This is wrong for several reasons:

- The local part of an email is case sensitive, so by converting to lower case,
email might be sent to the wrong address.
- It makes it harder to see if the import was correct (by exporting the
imported file and checking for diffs)
- It makes CamelCase email addresses harder to read.

Note that the domain part of an email address is case insensitive, so it may be
converted to lower case. However, it seems easier to just leave the address as
is.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create vCard file with MixedCase email address
2. Add vCard file to KAddressBook

Actual Results:  
Email is displayed in KAddressBook in lower case

Expected Results:  
Email is displayed as entered into the vCard file
