+<PRE>On Monday 12 Dec 2011 20:49 my mailbox was graced by a message from Richard
+Couture who wrote:
+
+&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; So my feature request would be to support uppercase letters in
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; usernames, like in openSUSE and Fedora.
+</I>
+&gt;<i> &gt; You can already create a username with upper-case letters with useradd in
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; a console.
+</I>
+&gt;<i> I think that the RFC for EMail says that any user wishing to receive
+</I>&gt;<i> mail had better have no CAPS in his/her username
+</I>
+The local-part of the email address may use any of these ASCII characters RFC
+5322 Section 3.2.3:
+
+ Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a&#8211;z, A&#8211;Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
+ Digits 0 to 9 (ASCII: 48-57)
+ Characters !#$%&amp;'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63,
+94-96, 123-126)
+ Character . (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not
+the first or last character, and provided also that it does not appear two or
+more times consecutively (e.g. <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">John..Doe at example.com</A> is not allowed.).
+ Special characters are allowed with restrictions including:
+ Space and &quot;(),:;&lt;&gt;@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64,
+91-93)
+
+The restrictions for special characters are that they must be contained
+between quotation marks and that 3 special chars (The space, backslash \ and
+quotation mark &quot; (ASCII: 32, 92, 34) must be preceded by a backslash \ (e.g.
+&quot;\&quot;\\\ &quot;).
+
+Cheers,
+
+Ron.
