This is probably a dumb question but here goes anyway. I am trying to use the Apple Mail client more and more but I can't seem to figure out how to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize. Does this program even do this? I have no problem with this in Entourage.

Thanks

Press the shift key while you type the first letter of the first word in a sentence.

Why can't it be automatic like in Entourage?

Ha, I was thinking about that the other day, but mainly because on the iPhone it does it for me

I find that, more often than not, Microsoft's auto-correction, auto-capitalization, auto-formatting, auto-bulleting, makes things worse rather than better.

QFFT™

Is this REALLY so hard for people? Learn to type properly!

This Microsoft's coddling of bad typists is really detrimental.
