SUMMARY
=======

Exchange Server has implemented the NNTP protocol commands as case insensitive.
For example, if you send a search or group command for a folder alt.test, the
commands will return entries from alt.test and alt.TEST.

NOTE: The content of the search will maintain its case sensitivity.

This is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The decision was made not to support case sensitivity to be more flexible on the
data that is returned.
