Traditionally, the MIME types are only given in lowercase, so if you had written "text/plain; charset=windows-1252", it would have been orrectly detected.
Nonsense. Pure, unadulterated nonsense. I helped write the MIME RFCs, and I can assure you that uppercase MIME types are permitted and used by long-standing production software.
I don't know which strange email program you use that generates this form of MIME types, even if they should be interpreted ignoring case.
At least one standard email programs used by millions of users does uppercase for the MIME types.
