343696 2005-04-11 07:08:00 I have never had a problem using all lower case, despite received emails being title case. While it would be possible for company servers to filter on case, none would be silly enough to do so.....? godfather (25)
343697 2005-04-11 07:11:00 You can have capital letters in PressF1 community username. Too bad I didn't realise that when I sign up for my account. If I realised that, I will put JamesKan instead of jameskan. Cheers :) Renmoo (66)

My only reservation was that some ways of doing aliasing (which allows multiple names for the same account) could fail if not set up competently. (The configuration file for sendmail, the original Unix mail handler, is so horrendously evil that it's now arranged to be changed only with changes to a macro file, which is then processed to create the final result.)


Aliasing is a process of translation, not filtering. That can be a problem.;)

Anyway, GF, when has "silly" ever been excluded? I'd say it is quite a common commodity.;)
