  I second the sentiment about case sensitivity.  It would be really nice
if the address 'Mike' were an alias to be looked up in my aliases file, but
the address 'mike' referred to the local user on this system.  Unfortunately
MH does not cooperate.  Can we at least have a compile time option to turn
off the case-insensitive processing of names and aliases?
