In this particular case, my suggestion doesn't change anything. What
I suggested is check the search string ONLY when case-fold-search is
non nil, which means that we're not supposed to care about the case.
Sorry, Didier; what I meant to write was (let ((case-fold-search t))
...) as would be logical for searching the headers. With this
correction, you will find actual code in Emacs mail readers that looks
like that.
