 how to make a login field NOT case sensitive?

Hi,

I have just discovered that my login field for my user name (which is the user e-mail address) is case sensitive. This was causing a user difficulties because she had registered in all caps for some reason like this: NAME@DOMAIN.COM. She was then trying to login as name@domain.com. She was therefore unable to login. I am hoping there is a way to make this sort of thing a non-issue by making the e-mail field case-insensitive, so that it doesn't differentiate capital and non-capital letters. How would this be done? Specifically, this is relevant to when users log in. Thanks,

Brett

In Security tab -> Registration and passwords... -> Check the 'Case-insensitive login' box
