I believe there is a deeper problem.

- lib/RT/EmailParser contains correct code that canonicalizes the address
  before looking up the current user.

- lib/RT/Interface/Email uses EmailParser

- lib/RT/Interface/Email/Auth/MailFrom does not, instead it contains
  its own version of GetCurrentUser().

I guess that MailFrom contains legacy code that was put into the
EmailParser module, but MailFrom hasn't been rewritten to simply
use EmailParser.
