lowercasing emails before use

[DenBond7]

When I used https://attester.cryptup.io/lookup/email, I saw that this API is case sensitive for email parameter.

Do I have to manually check that I send the parameter in lowercase? Or maybe it's better for API to solve this issue? As far as I know, it does not matter how to write email address. (For example "denbond7@gmail.com" = "DeNBoND@GmAIL.cOm")

Yes I have issue for this on the API repo. But still, client should always lowercase it before sending. In fact, the client should always lowercase all emails before saving them into DB or processing them in any way. That's what I do in the chrome extension and doing that helped me fix a lot of nasty bugs.

OK. I will do the checks in my code and close this task.

I checked my code. All is well.

Reopening this as when typing someone's email address, the beginning of the email was capitalized. It stayed that way & the pubkey could not be found as a result.

The email should be lowercased while I'm typing it, or when I'm done typing it, so that it's always lowercased before further processing.
