Yes, but the whole point at the start of the thread was Dovecot delivery
to extension-based folders...
I am however puzzled by the local(8) documentation update in the 20060202
snapshot:

There is no text under "ADDRESS EXTESION" about case folding, and there
don't seem to be any exceptions to that. Was this a feature that never
got completed? Or the are these "exceptions" to using the whole local
part, rather than exceptions to folding the case?
