I understand that.  A couple of you continue to miss the points.  First,
just set the filter to not-case-sensitive and then no problem.  Second,
anything you change is guaranteed to make someone happy and to piss off
someone else.  In fact, I'll bet that if you made one dork (oops, customer)
happy because you changed the case (if you could), you'd undoubtedly have
several others UNhappy because you changed case, either simply because it
was a change, or because it messed up THEIR filters.  Of course if one sets
a filter a touch less restrictively than the full list address, then again
you've reduced problems with essentially zero chance of other problems
arising from doing so.

And, of course, I'll defer to Eric on the issue of the chance of the case
changing.....he thought of an example I didn't.  Thanks, Eric.  I'll ALWAYS
defer to Eric on all questions relating to LISTSERV, MTAs, and any other
issues relating to email.
