While I think this patch is a sensible thing to do, I at the same
time wonder who is writing "cc:" in the lowercase in the first
place, and if that is one of our tools, we should fix that part as
well.  Such a header would leak out to the payload given to the
underlying sendmail, doesn't it?

Leaking such lowercased headers of course is not a crime (the
headers are case insensitive), but they look ugly.
