--- Comment #3 from resplin <richard-oss at esplins.org> ---
Variation of the name outside of the email address is not a problem. The system
cannot guess which version of the name is the correct one.

I see this "bug" as a feature. The local mailbox portion of an email is case
sensitive, per RFC 2821. They should be treated as seperate email addresses.
See:
http://email.about.com/od/emailbehindthescenes/f/email_case_sens.htm

It might seem like in practice you can combine the results based on a lowercase
version, but it will be completely broken when you hit a rare exception.

I don't think it is a problem to scan the list for the right email address. If
the system suggests the most recently used version first, I rarely need to go
past the first entry.
