He said “each sentence.” If he meant “each line,” as I suspect, then it’s likely because every line ends with a CRLF, so the next line obviously starts a new paragraph, in which the initial letter is capitalized, as it should be.
Nikoli, for an e-mail client, you can try Thunderbird. Many folks use this free software. I don’t so I cannot talk about its features. Get it free at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Load it up and try it out. If you don’t like it, just remove it. Now, just what are you trying to do with that book? Your post implies that you’re trying to open it in an e-mail client? Or are you trying to open it in OpenOffice? If the latter, I think you’re opening it in read-only mode. So open it, select all, copy that text, and paste it into a new text document. You should be able to edit that one. Save it before you start working on it though. If that doesn’t work, the write back some more. That “initial cap” problem is easy to solve if you know about regular expressions, so don’t try to do it by hand. You’re using a word processor, not a typewriter, so let the word processor determine where to end the lines; you just type until you get to the end of a paragraph (not a line), THEN hit the return key.
