ignore case only for a part of the regex?

Hi,
is there a means to specify that 'ignore-case' should only apply to a part
of a regex?
E.g.
the regex should match Msg-id:, Msg-Id, ... but not msg-id: and so on.
I've tried the pattern
r'^Msg-(?:(?i)id):'
but (?i) makes the whole pattern ignoring case.
In my simple case I could say
r'Msg-[Ii][Dd]:'
but that's a bit clumsy.
Is there a more elegant way? Is there a way to compose a pattern
from subpatterns which are compiled with different flags?
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
