Should be seen as the same...

message-id:
Message-ID:
meSSAGE-Id:
MESSAGE-ID:

Should all equate to the same...

From RFC 822...
- - - -
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.

When generating these units, any mix of upper and lower case
alphabetic characters may be used. The case shown in this
specification is suggested for message-creating processes.
