Nope. Proper capitalises every word. I want the first word of every sentence
capitalised.

Bottle not included

not:
Bottle Not Included

I should add that the bullets (€) are part of the text, not inserted by my
email!

So basically I need to capitalise the first word after each bullet. But
there may be any number of bulleted lines in the field.
