I'm guessing that you're referring to TIDs here Paul?
Yes, they are case sensitive, but since messages rarely have more than a
dozen header lines I generally do this:
repeat with aHeader in every paragraph of (get headers of msg)
if aHeader starts with "Message-id" then
set msgID to text 14 thru -2 of contents of aHeader
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
The loop is certainly slower than using tids, but by the time you have
checked 4 or five variants of 'message-id', the loop will almost certainly
be fast enough, unless you are checking thousands of messages in a single
script.
