User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090810 Gentoo Firefox/3.5.2

Option to "Automatically add outgoing e-mail addresses" to an address book (mail.collect_email_address_outgoing), results in duplicates when email address is only different in case. This is particularly problematic when ldap server and "From" line disagree. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on option to Automatically add outgoing e-mail addresses to some address book
2. Send email to an email address (e.g. [e-mail])
3. Send email to an email address that only differs in terms of case (e.g. [e-mail])

Actual Results:  
Both [e-mail] and [e-mail] appear in collected address book.

Expected Results:  
Only the first should.

To the best of my knowledge the case sensitivity bug still exists in the main code.  To get it fixed please go to bug 129393 and click the vote button to raise its level of importance.
