Why would anyone use a case-sensitive filter on fields that are
(by the RFC's) case-insensitive?  (i.e., anything to the right of "@".)
You need to deal with [log in to unmask] because that's legal and
equivalent to [log in to unmask] .

Aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder.  If the case in headers is
your biggest worry in running a list, you're lucky.  (For now  :)
