However, if the user is dealing with an OpenVMS system, then case doesn't
matter one bit.  For example, you could send e-mail to me at
[log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] or even
[log in to unmask] and I'm fairly well certain that all three would
get to me just fine.  Keep in mind, though, that most systems out there
are Unix systems of some variety where case sensitivity is an issue.
