Also, according to RFC 2045
content := "Content-Type" ":" type "/" subtype
            *(";" parameter)
            ; Matching of media type and subtype
            ; is ALWAYS case-insensitive.

but the Content-Type pattern itself is not -- i.e. the caps are needed.
I'm fairly sure about that, anyway.
