[stuff about address matching]

just wanted to put in my $.02 about address matching.  i don't think
any special mechanism other than 

string.lower(string.strip(address1)) == string.lower(string.strip(address2))

should be used. therer are some instances , for example, 2 of my own
address, where it is perfectly valid for
user@furtherqualified.domain.dom to be a different address than
user@domain.dom.

in addition when you start taking into account how many parts you
should compare based on individual top level domains, you're hard
wiring knowledge that can change daily.

my vote is to have addresses match only if they are the same username
and have the same doman part, case folded.
