Re: [Mailman-Developers] Query regarding ambiguous behavior of REST API due to case-sensitivity of email addresses

2. Later on, in the same function the following code checks if the email is matched:

*for address in user.addresses:*

•        if address.email == email:*

•               break*

Here *email* is in *preserved case* while *address.email *returns a lower case version of email and an *unmatch* occurs. ( sam@gmail.com and SAM@gmail.com do not matches ofcourse )

I think you've done a great job of finding the root cause of the bug. I'll comment further on the merge proposal, but I think your fix is essentially correct.

Thanks!
