The mailer identifies itself as:
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (WinNT; I)
Quite old and not something I would use as an email client.

I don't have copies of the mail from every part of its route. There is
also a Smail3.1.28.1 that coould have done the lowercasing. The
qualifying had to be Exim as that domain is not known to the Smail
installation.
