I don't have a VMS box handy and I'll try triple-quoting tomorrow

but before leaving the office I tried to send directly from inside the
mail utility (bypassing all DCL quote removal) with the very same
result "local-part" is uppercased but not the "domain"
I also gave distribution list file a chance, again with the same
result :(

the only way I found to preserve the case for the whole address is
using SMTP%...
