[MlMt] Case sensitivity in address pattern matching
I have address patterns set for my accounts, and discovered that when a sender has an address for me in all upper case, MM does not recognize it as matching the address pattern. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

It is a problem that needs some solution, because the local part of an email address MAY be case-sensitive but usually is not. Complicating that, 'postmaster' is ALWAYS case-insensitive, even on the rare mail system that otherwise supports case-sensitive local parts. The domain part of an email address is NEVER case-sensitive. The canonical form of any non-IDN domain name is with all letters lower case, so interop pretty much requires tolerance for others case-squashing domain names, since that is definitively "Not Wrong." (Which does not mean it is "Right.") This is one of the more annoying things going on these days. For example, try and find any third-party DNS provider that leaves upper-case domain names alone. Little things mean a lot. As a technical matter, ASCII-label domain names are case-insensitive. It is a common practice for a nameserver to preserve the case of labels between queries and responses but it would be unsafe to depend on that behavior and outright wrong to provide different result data based on the case used in a query. DNSSEC depends on a definition of the canonical form of a domain name: all lower case. If I didn't want mine upper-cased I would not have written it that way. That's nice. To get case-sensitive domain names, you'll need to find a different Internet. :) -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Currently Seeking Steady Work: https://linkedin.com/in/billcole ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Blacklisting display names has no effect
Hi all, MailMate seems to have an option to blacklist specific display names so they don’t show up as autocompletion options, but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. As an example, say I have the following email addresses somewhere in my email collection: ``` Foo Foo Bar ``` And say I only want `Foo Bar ` to show up as an autocomplete option, not `Foo `. If I select `Foo ` in a new message and right click on that address, I can select `Add “Foo ” to Blacklist`. `Foo ` duly shows up in the `Blacklist.plist` file. But `Foo ` remains as an autocomplete suggestion. If I blacklist `foo...@baz.com` it stops showing up as an autocomplete suggestion, as expected. But I only want to blacklist certain display names associated with an address, not the address itself. Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding this feature? Thanks!
