A Case created through Email-to-Case has a populated ContactId, but its AccountId field is unexpectedly null in the before insert trigger.

Steps to Reproduce : 

1.Set up an Email-to-Case flow in your Salesforce organization.
2.Ensure a Contact record is associated with the email address for the case.
3.Create a before insert trigger on the Case object. For example:

trigger DebugCaseValues on Case (before insert) {\
  for (Case c : Trigger.new) {
    System.debug('##### Case values: ' + c);
  }
}

4.Create a Case by sending an email to your Email-to-Case address.
5.Check the debug logs for trigger execution.
6.Observed Result
The debug logs show that the AccountId field is null in the before insert context.

##### Case values: Case:{Id=null, ..., ContactId=003..., AccountId=null, ...}
