Then advertise it as HATE @ hates-software . com and see how many
people can really parse RFC 2?822 addresses, including optional
whitespace and comments between tokens.

But yes. Hateful software that assumes it can just uppercase anything
(why on earth would one want to do that anyway? If at all, wouldn't
all-lowercase be easier to read? Oh, I forgot, you wouldn't then be
able to spell "God" properly). I'll gnashingly admit that this is
guaranteed to work for the bit to the right of the at-sign, but
local-parts (with the exception of /postmaster/i) are *defined* to be
case-sensitive.
