You should be aware that according to the specs, the local part of an
email address is case-sensitive. So JoeSmith@example.com and
JoESmith@example.com might be two distinct email addresses.
Admittedly I've never seen that in practice (although I've seen a lot of
other problems caused by people who made unwarranted assumptions about
email addresses).
