And they can keep that capitalization when they type in their login or otherwise share their email address with the world. Are you suggesting that this Dr. Abby user would be offended that the website’s authentication infrastructure ends up working with it as lowercase?




I am suggesting that showing the normalized name, perhaps using it as the "To:" in an email, or presented in the UI, may annoy some users.
