Hmm, that's a simple change (I wonder why this hasn't come up before?).
As root, "cd /usr/sbin" and use "patch -p < thisMailMessage", where
"thisMailMessage" is the name of the file containing this mail message,
to apply this patch to allow uppercase letters:

You can use "ScrollLock" to put the console into paging mode, and then use
PageUp/PageDn to move the page. Press "ScrollLock" again to get back out
of scrolling mode.
