O> Well, RFC 822 also says:

O>         When matching any other syntactic unit, case is to be ignored.
O>         For  example, the field-names "From", "FROM", "from", and even
O>         "FroM" are semantically equal and should all be treated ident-
O>         ically.

O>         When generating these units, any mix of upper and  lower  case
O>         alphabetic  characters  may  be  used.  The case shown in this
O>         specification is suggested for message-creating processes.
O>  
O> So primarily it is the receiver's fault not to recognize 'to', but
O> it's certainly nicer of VM to follow the suggestion of 'To' when
O> generating the header.

Yup, something like "be narrow in what you send, but wide in what you accept."
