      Currently it seems as though our email address' are case sensitive. Typically email address' are handled in a case insensitive way.

      E.g.:

      nhook@ucar.edu = Nhook@ucar.edu = nhook@UCAR.EDU = NHOOK@UCAR.EDU


      If I remember reading correctly the official email spec states that email address' should be handled in a case sensitive way, but then in the next sentence it was stated that having case sensitive names could cause confusion and it is up to email admins to determine what is best in their case.


      To reproduce go to the 'Forgot your OpenID?' link and enter a email that is a different case then what is stored in the database. I used NHOOK@ucar.edu instead of nhook@ucar.edu
