"LLL@" doesn't map to "LLLLLLLL@" in any logical way. "lll@" does; that's just a silly argument.

- TylerE 4y agoIt also maps to 111@ and III@, depending in font
- Aethylia 4y agoBy maps to, they mean it counts as the same email address. 111@ and lll@ do not do that. The font has no impact on the email spec. However it can add extra confusion.
- tsimionescu 4y agoI doubt anyone is crazy enough to implement the email spec for comparing emails, to be fair. I would honestly be surprised if any publicly available mail agent or server supports that craziness.
- jstanley 4y agoThe only reason "LLL" and "lll" mean the same thing are because currently email addresses are (sometimes) case insensitive. In a world where email addresses were "obviously" case sensitive, "LLL" mapping to "lll" would be just as crazy as "LLLLLLLLLL" mapping to "LLLLLLLLLLL". They just seem similar, to humans. But they're different strings.
