[Rd] Fwd: suggested patch for messages

[Ben Bolker]

Any follow-up/comments on this? If I don't hear back I'll submit to
r-bugs so it doesn't get lost ...

(Don't see any changes in QC.R in the last few days ...

Does anyone have comments on the new wording here?

Suggested:

The Title field should be in title case. Current version is:
   (xxx)
In title case this would be:
   (Xxx)

Hoping R core will see this here and magically adopt it, otherwise
I'll try posting it to the r bugs site ...
