      Form validation says "The supplied email address is invalid." on page http://localhost:8095/crowd/console/secure/user/add, if email address contains capital letters. For example:

      "HELP@example.com" in the email field, fails with the error above.
      "help@example.com" however, works without error.

      Since both deliver to the same email address, the lowercase equivalent is the workaround for this bug.
      However, it can confuse users who may think that something is wrong in the mail configuration of crowd, rather than the form.

      An email address may contain upper-case letters as defined in RFC5322 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1).
      including:

      Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a-z, A-Z)
      Digits 0 to 9
      Characters ! # $ % & ' * + - / = ? ^ _ `

      { | }

      ~
      Character .
