Lastly, your enumeration of different ways of representing this and
that seems a little bit unfair in that it seems to count different
capitalizations as different. Auxillary headers are parsed loosely as
if they were RFC821 headers. Most mail readers are case-insensitive
with respect to header names.
Here you are entirely too nice [as usual ;-) ]. Auxiliary
headers should be viewed as derived from RFC822 header rules and
any case-sensitivity in recognizing field names is simply wrong.
