Hi Folks,

I'm using abbrev-mode and loving it but wondered whether it was possible to
teach emacs to capitalize words atthe beginning of a sentence?  This would
be a big help as it's a major source of errors in my typing.  If anyone has
any ideas, either of an existing package that does this, or how to write a
simple function that checks for ".  [a-z] and changes it to ".  [A-Z]" I'd
appreciate it.  thanks very much!

matt
