The addressbook case-sensitively collects email addresses. If you send an email,
or you receive an email with an address in which even one character is a
different case from what is already in your addressbook, it will be stored as a
new address. This is confusing and IMO nonintuitive. I've had to delete a couple
dozen address entries the past few months because of this.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an email to someone who is not yet in your addressbook.
2. Change the case of 1 letter in that address and send it again.
3. Both addresses now show up, even thouogh they are (effectively) the same.
4. ???
5. Profit!
Actual Results:
Two entries in the addressbook: same address, but different case.
Expected Results:
Addressbook should have not collected the second address.

I also found this to be true. There is no logical reason to have multiple
entries for essentially the same email address. Running version 1.0
(20041206)... Thanks for looking into this.
