phone text messaging client programmers: listen up

auto-capitalize should not be applied when the only letter typed so far is "k". got that?

if($typedSoFar !== "k")
{
    $typedSoFar = strToUpper($typedSoFar);
}

it's not that complicated, and it's really annoying. Google -- your surprise bandwidth saving "message clipped" feature -- makes you completely unable to forward long emails, even if copied by hand. This is an EXTREMELY annoying limitation when you're trying to handle lengthy, vital business documents, like detailed software specifications, you can't. That's not acceptable for Google Apps when you're marketing it to businesses. Gmail and personal accounts are one thing. A certain responsibility is implied in offering services which are obviously vital to a business's ability to operate and continue existing. That kind of laziness is not acceptable for business software.
