Description

I'm not sure if this is a K-9 bug or Openkeychain, but I have a contact who, for some weird reason, has a couple of capital letters on his pgp email id. So when I pick him as recipient K-9 fails to detect the correct key.

Research direction

Start by reproducing recipient selection with a PGP email ID containing capital letters, then determine whether K-9 Mail or OpenKeychain performs the case-sensitive key lookup. Done means the correct key is detected for mixed-case email IDs, with the responsible component identified.
