I was thinking something like an autocorrect.

I realize gnumed is not a word processor but I wonder whether for 
readability and correspondence:

- initcap in name & contact fields, and
- initcaps for the first word following a period combined with one or 
more spaces

would be useful functions that individual users could choose to have 
"on" or "off".
