Mail rules involving email addresses still case-sensitive

A long time ago (over 1 year ago), I noted in an article the following:

… [U]nlike other rule criteria in Mail, the “Sender is/is not in Address Book” and “Sender is/is not in Group” criteria are case-sensitive, meaning that the individual’s email has to appear in your Address Book exactly as it appears in messages when it comes to character case, or else the filter won’t work. This doesn’t make any sense, as email addresses are supposed to be case-insensitive to begin with (i.e. <applepeel@APPLELUST.COM> and <applepeel@applelust.com> are the same thing). Hopefully this is something that Apple will quickly fix.

I’ve just checked, and this problem still is not fixed. Amazing.
