I'm going to guess Notes was one of them, but do you have any specific examples? (Unix™-derived e-mail systems being case-insensitive (although, I'd wager that /bin/mail was case-sensitive back in 7th Edition) is obviou

Thank you. I find that my fingers type in the style of what I've been reading for the past week or three unless I give a correction. This is but one of the reasons I stay away from microblogging services, of course…
