I was wondering if Windows Mail has a feature that will automatically
capitalize the first letter of each sentence as you type, and for common
names, such as Jeff, New York, etc. I have used this feature on Outlook and
in Office and I found it to be really handy. I have a new PC now, and am
using Windows Mail instead of Outlook, and am looking for this feature but
cannot find it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Windows Mail doesn't do any of that, but its replacement, Windows Live
Mail (WLM) does some of it. The auto-correction in WLM will fix common
typos such as changing 'teh' to 'the', and 'i' to 'I'. It also spell-checks
on the fly, immediately marking a misspelling with a red squiggly underline.
It does not, however, capitalize the first word in a sentence, nor does
it capitalize 'new york' (although it correctly marks 'york' as a misspelling).
