I'll probably fix this anyway for esthetic reasons, but for the record:
Header field names are supposed to be handled in a case insensiive manner.
>From RFC 822:
3.4.7. CASE INDEPENDENCE
Except as noted, alphabetic strings may be represented in any
combination of upper and lower case. The only syntactic units
which requires preservation of case information are:
- text
- qtext
- dtext
- ctext
- quoted-pair
- local-part, except "Postmaster"
When matching any other syntactic unit, case is to be ignored.
For example, the field-names "From", "FROM", "from", and even
"FroM" are semantically equal and should all be treated ident-
ically.
