Capitalizing CC in the header isn't a bug at all.  The people who
have mailers that can't deal with this should get better mailers!
Recognition of header field names is first thing that any program
that claims to handle mail has to get right.

What operating systems and what mailers are we talking about
here?  We'll never get anywhere if we continue to "fix" working
programs to accomodate broken ones.
