ASP.NET MVC3: How to validate e-mail [compare] dataannotations with insensitivity?

[Display(Name = "E-mail *")]

            //The regular expression below implements the official RFC 2822 standard for email addresses. Using this regular expression in actual applications is NOT recommended. It is shown to illustrate that with regular expressions there's always a trade-off between what's exact and what's practical.

            [RegularExpression("^[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?$", ErrorMessage = "Invalid e-mail.")]

 

            [Required(ErrorMessage = "E-mail must be entered")]

            [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]

            public virtual string Email { get; set; }

 

            [Display(Name = "Repeat e-mail *")]

            [Required(ErrorMessage = "Repeat e-mail must be entered")]

            [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]

            [Compare("Email", ErrorMessage = "E-mail and Repeat e-mail must be identically entered.")]
