AFAICT, no, alpine does not change the case of the TO address. I just
tested sending a message to my gmail account from alpine (through work SMTP
server) and mixed case was retained.
FWIW, I'm running Alpine 2.02, which I built from source from the
sourceforge re-alpine.

I wrote up a bug about Mail.app saying it showed Mom@herhost and mom@herhost<br>
as two "different" recipients (e.g. like it shows "Joe & \
Fred" as a summary<br> of email recipients in a thread).<br>
<br>
I stated that email addresses were case insensitive, and was shown to be<br>
wrong (after more googling by me, I'd still say I'm "de facto" \
right).<br> <br>
ANYWAY.. I tried sending myself email from alpine to<br>
<a href="mailto:mattack@apple.com">mattack@apple.com</a><br>
<a href="mailto:MATTACK@apple.com">MATTACK@apple.com</a><br>
<br>
and the received mail, both in Mail & alpine, show up as "<a \
href="mailto:mattack@apple.com">mattack@apple.com</a>".<br> <br>
Is alpine lowercasing it? Since I see uppercase in other emails, it SEEMS<br>
to be on the sending end.<br>
<br>
Not a big deal, I'm just curious.<br>
