If you want to write iN-rePLy-to, go ahead. The web pages will massage
it into the same Capitalised style however you happen to write it; it
will perform its function just as well.
Many people on this list post emails containing In-reply-to, and that
*is* the commonest alternative to In-Reply-To, as might be expected.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/03/msg00059.html
is the only instance of a saved email containing in-reply-to that I
happen to have a copy of, and you can see that the Debian web page
threaded it correctly.
Said email was emitted by the Atmail 6.6.0.13042 mailer, which google
seems to show is more frequently used in Australia. My email hosting
provider retired Atmail in favour of RoundCube back in 2014, or so I read.
