I just noticed this report. Is there a function in elisp that does
downcase in the C locale? For this use, we only care about ASCII, so a
'tr A-Z a-z' would work. Do smtpmail.el have to implement a
'downcase-ascii' function itself?

Chong Yidong has fixed some similar issues in smtpmail.el using
with-case-table / ascii-case-table, see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/64489/focus=64496
See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/68859> for the quite
long discussion about this problem (Subject: ... Locale Dependent
Downcasing in smtpmail). Oh, know I notice that
<yazicivo@ttnet.net.tr> reported this problem, so I'd guess it has
been fixed by Chong Yidong's change.
Bye, Reiner.

You can switch to the standard case table for this.

I'm happy to hear that it has already been fixed. I didn't notice any
follow-ups on the post to emacs-pretest, that's why I asked again.
Thanks,
