I see what you mean, although I wonder how many list administrators are even aware of this issue. My intuition tells me that programs shouldn't change the case of user-supplied data unless there's a very good reason for doing so, and it's clear that it's happening. But, you are clearly the expert in this area. Anyway, thanks for your help.
