[GTALUG] Old and New Habits...

[CAREY SCHUG]

D*mn autocorrect.  I double checked, and when I sent it, my "George and george" were differently cased (though I had to go back and change the second one to lower case before sending).  Don't know if the list serve changed it or if James' email changed it.  At least some of my emails don't attempt to correct anything quoted.
 
And it could have been an installation option whether to differentiate case or not, or changed from honoring to not honoring.

I don't recall if or how that was resolved when the internet was added, I kind of think that you had an internal email and an external email, so only one of George or George got to use that on the internet email.
