Interesting, all the mails I tested with had "Return-Path:" (ie with
capitol P) in them. Although I've now found some with a lower case 'p'.

It seems to be down to the ISP as to how "Return-Path:" is capitalised.
A quick skim through the relevant RFCs suggests that a capitol 'P' is
correct.

Anyway the '_newstest' could be adjusted to allow both. It's just a
question of how.

Make it completely case insensitive:

   _newstest   ** ( < \- "From:" | "Path:" | "Return-Path:")

Allow both lower and upper case 'p':

   _newstest   ** ( < "From:" | "Path:" | "Return-Path:" | "Return-path:")

   _newstest   ** ( < "From:" | "Path:" | ("Return-" 'Pp' "ath:"))

   _newstest   ** ( < "From:" | (["Return-"] ("Path:" | "path:")))

   _newstest   ** ( < "From:" | (["Return-"] 'Pp' "ath:"))

The first variant is the simplest form but has a greater chance of false
positives. The others all work too and are more accurate but they are a
bit more complex.

Cheers,
Fred.
