I...protest the belief that only 'proper'
capitalization can be considered adult grammar.  If
the lack of capitalization is inconsistent, then
perhaps it can be considered un-adult (actually, I
dislike using that particular adjective to describe
incorrect grammar; I've seen plenty of teenagers who
have better grasps on grammar than thirty year olds). 
But if the e-mail isn't capitalized throughout, I
think you can just attribute it to stylistic choice
and, imho, should be allowed, same as the various
little abbreviations we're so fond of on e-mail.

And forgive me if such matters shouldn't be discussed
here...

little Alex
