Hi ALL,

Why does Mail in new mail message starts every NEW sentence whit a capital letter like, ABCDEFG etc.
Always I have to hold down the Shift key.

Mail does not do that. If you're seeing that behavior, you must have a Mail plugin installed that is doing it. Of course, it wouldn't make much sense to be complaining that every sentence is being started with a capital letter, as is grammatically correct, so I wonder if you're complaining that it _does not_ start each sentence with a capital letter. If that's the case, then all we can say is "Yes, you're right, Mail does not do that."

Hi,

Sorry for the misunderstanding by my type fold ... I mean DOENS'T.

if you're complaining that it does not start each sentence with a capital letter. If that's the case, then all we can say is "Yes, you're right, Mail does not do that."

Yes, I'm complaining about that ... since years and years Mails lacks in this simple feature.

Is there any script you know about I can use?

I think Wordservice does this kind of thing.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for the tip, but I this is not working.

I downloaded it and put in HD>System>Library>Services

They wrote to put it in the Home_Folder>Library>Services ... But there is NO such folder.
After creating a new folder named "Services" I put the Wordservice in the new folder Log-out and Log-in again.

No success ... also no success when I put it in the first path.

In fact I need a simple script for Mail to do this for me. That after every DOT>Space>New word a capital letter starts as the beginning letter for a new text line.
