I posted some further analysis of this problem to the list a while back.
I've got some captures. Basically, different Windows clients that can
provide plaintext upper-case don't quite get it right. At least, they are
not all formatting things the same way.
I don't have time just now to look more deeply into this. If anyone else
does, let me know and I'll forward my info.
