Hi,

So a Freemail address needs to express an SSK public key at which a 'mailsite' 
can be fetched containing all the data necessary to set up some 
communication. The problem is that Freenet keys are case sensitive, and email 
addresses aren't. My mail client mangles the address to lowercase, meaning 
you can't just put the SSK into the address.

Can anyone think of a (ideally standard) way of encoding an SSK to case 
insensitive ASCII? I'm currently using Hex encoding, but that makes Freemail 
addresses like:

Not great.

I don't really want to write another encoding scheme.
