Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: JAMES-323
    Summary: using toUppercase, toLowerCase, equalsIgnoreCase without specifying the 
locale is a bug
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Minor

    Project: James

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Hontvari Jozsef

    Created: Thu, 16 Sep 2004 9:43 PM

Environment: turkish locale

Description:
Subject tells all, converting case in a server application without specifying an 
explicit locale is almost always a bug. People may assume that this works for ASCII 
characters, and usually does, but not in all locale. All such code were fixed about 
two years ago, but I read the JDJ newsletter article and wondered what is the current 
status of James, and indeed I found a few new places, where the same bug reappeared:
toUppercase():
-MBoxMailRepository.java

toLowercase():
-CommandListservManager.java
-RemoteDelivery.java
-SenderHostIs.java

I didn't find equalsIgnoreCase calls.

All of the above should be replaced with toLowercase(Locale.ENGLISH) or 
toUppercase(Locale.ENGLISH)
