Wait a second: Mutt's aliases *are* case-insensitive. One can't have
both foo and Foo: If both are declared in muttrc, only the last
survives. While <create-alias> rejects the second as duplicate.
So it would seem perfectly natural to have a case-insensitive
completion. Now it may perhaps be a user preference, having "johnone"
and "JohnTwo", completing either j<Tab> or J<Tab> to full, instead of
j<Tab> giving "john" only and futher [ot]<Tab> required to full. I don't
know? Situation dependant pref?
BTW spotted an oddity. muttrc:
| alias JohnDoe John Doe <first@xxxxxxxxxxx>
| alias JOHNDOE \"John Doe Jr.\" <second@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Aliases menu:
| 1 JohnDoe "John Doe Jr." <second@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Last overwrote first, normal. But retaining the first alias casing.
The same happens when entering alias at <enter-command> prompt. That's a
bug, isn't it?
Bye! Alain.
