How to Stop IncrediMail from Capitalizing Words

The rules of capitalization are, a few exceptions and headlines aside, not difficult to master in the English language. But so simple as IncrediMail believes them to be they are not. Starting with a capital letter every word that follows a full stop ('.') is usually correct, but often wrong.

Since you will usually write a capital letter when you start a sentence — including when a sentence begins after a period has ended the previous —, IncrediMail's automatically capitalizing words is annoying more than it is helpful, especially since it so stubbornly resists your trying to correct its erroneous correction (don't use the arrow keys to advance after you have replaced the capital with a lowercase letter, use the mouse to jump).

Fortunately, IncrediMail's efforts to correct capitalization can be stopped and prevented easily.

Stop IncrediMail from Capitalizing Words

To prevent IncrediMail from interfering with the capitalization of words in your emails:

• Select Tools | Options... from the menu.
• Go to the Language tab.
• Click Spelling Options....
• Make sure Capitalize first letter of sentences is not checked.
• Click OK.
• Click OK again.

If you have as-you-type spell checking enabled, IncrediMail will still underline in green every word it things ought to be started with a capital letter. You can make the change by clicking with the right mouse button and selecting the corrected word. The change will not be automatic, however.
