If you haven't figured this by now, this it not the default emacs 
behavior.  I suspect you are in some special mode that's trying to be 
clever about capitalization.

The first step is to run with -q -no-site-file and confirm that it 
doesn't do that anymore.  Then add one or the other back to figure out 
which file is the cause.  Finally, assuming it's something in your 
.emacs, start commenting out sections to find the offending line.
