On the other hand, I occasionally have to deal with a guy who used to wRITE aLL hIS tEXT lIKE tHIS fOR sOME rEASON, but since he discovered HTML mail, he now instead uses tons of bizarre formatting with normal capitalization. I can just view as plain text and his mail is perfectly readable. But he doesn't _know_ it's readable, so presumably the voices in his head are satisfied.
