The uppercased CC is Emacs' doing.  I personally have a
mail-setup-hook that fixes this for my own outgoing mail, but I
didn't see the need to put it into VM proper.

Reply-to rather than Reply-To was just a type, nothing more.  If
you look at the VM source code you'll see that in most every
other place I used Reply-To, even in places where case didn't
matter.

The names of headers in RFC 822 messages are supposed to be
treated case-insensitively.  Mailers that live by other standards
can do what they will, I guess, but unless there are gateways
between them and the rest of the Internet, users are going to
many problems.
