-i for insensitive?
Factor?  `^ *(Resent-)?To *:'.  Helps the reader and potentially egrep.
Test for the opposite, two become one?  «! egrep -q '^ *To *: *[^ ]'»?

`>&2' for stderr?

`egrep -c'?

Not likely to be a problem here, but "x$tolap" protects from tolap
starting with a `-'.  But then each needs to become «"x$s" != x», which
is a bit tedious.  [[...]] is much preferred if the shell you're using
has it.

Duplicate echo can be factored to before the if statement.
