Also:

RFC2822
  1.2.2. Syntactic notation

     This standard uses the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) notation
     specified in [RFC2234] for the formal definitions of the syntax of
     messages.  Characters will be specified either by a decimal value
     (e.g., the value %d65 for uppercase A and %d97 for lowercase A) or by
     a case-insensitive literal value enclosed in quotation marks (e.g.,
     "A" for either uppercase or lowercase A).  See [RFC2234] for the full
     description of the notation.
  [...]
  orig-date       =       "Date:" date-time CRLF

RFC2234:

   Hence:

        rulename = "abc"

   and:

        rulename = "aBc"

   will match "abc", "Abc", "aBc", "abC", "ABc", "aBC", "AbC" and "ABC".


Also bin ich fuer case-insensitive.
