Hi Tim,

I think something that confuses the situation is that while email
address and domain names are not case sensitive, individual web page
names are.  For example www.abc.com/Page1.html is not the same as
www.abc.com/page1.html.  Incorrect cases for page names is one of the
most common reasons for Page Not Found errors.
