RFC 2919 section 6 states the following:

  There is only one operation defined for list identifiers,
  that of case insensitive equality.

So no arguing with that.  Now, the other headers are
open to interpretation, so put a note about them.

Now, I don't think the following two patches will cause any
problems for existing users...

Down the line, for matching non-List-ID headers insensitively,
I'm thinking "mutt style" case-sensitivity is probably a good
default.  That is:

	Match case-sensitively iff capital letters exist in
	the substring.  Otherwise, match case-insensitively.

But, mutt allows POSIX regexps...  I'm not sure if regexps are
necessary for this, and I also don't want this to be tied to
Perl/PCRE in case we or someone else wants to use another
language/runtime.  We can't use POSIX regexps from Perl w/o
XS from CPAN or Inline::C, so more crap to force on the user.

Otherwise, I'm not sure how a user should (or would care to)
specify case-insensitivity vs case-sensitivity...

Valid email headers names won't have spaces (or many other
chars), so we can do somthing like attempt to parse out " -i"
(like "grep -i"):

	watchheader = To -i:John Smith

Or, add a new option:

	watchHeaderInsensitively = To:John Smith

Ugh...

Eric Wong (2):
  watchmaildir: scan all matching headers
  watchmaildir: match List-ID case-insensitively
