My comment may have been a bit too oblique.  What I meant was

        Adding cc: Samuel from From: header

looked strange, and I thought it would be better written

        Adding Cc: Samuel from From: header

Same for

        Adding to: Samuel from To: header

being strange, and a better version of it would be

        Adding To: Samuel from To: header
