[Elecraft] Capital letters on reflector

[Bill K9YEQ]

It is also VERY  difficult to read with speed.  I prefer normal text to help
me get through at least 200+ emails a day. So I beg of the all caps typers
to use normal case.  Please do capitalize when typing sentences as well.  I
am one of those who can read mistyped semi scramble text and understand it.
All caps kills my brain.

73,

Here on the Elecraft reflector the text is transmitted as plain ASCII,
meaning that all of the formatting (font size, etc.) is stripped. That won't
fix "all caps" since capitals and lower case are all individual ASCII coded
characters and go through the system as such. But, if you increase the font
size at your end to read it more easily it won't show up any differently at
the reader's end. 

As others noted, all caps in e-mails is "shouting", Hi! When I want to
emphasize a word politely, I use asterisks like *this*. For me, that's the
ASCII equivalent of boldface type.

Sorry About the caps, seems like i'm always saying i'm sorry about the use
of capital letters. I have a vision problem, so i'm going to increase the
size; hope this will show up! i like the color blue, but don't know if this
will go to the reflector the way i see it. Wish i cold see better, its just
a habit for me. Thanks for letting me know it may bother some people, i
don't really understand  why it should, but may someone explain to me about
the caps? thank you all, god bless you all and god bless ham radio.
