Would you be put-off if you received an email from someone whose username was all capitalized?
Post Body

So my college mail has all of our names in all caps and I am unable to change that on my own as it has to be done through the IT department of my college and I am pretty sure they wouldn't entertain such a request. The thing is, I have been trying to build contacts by mailing professors in universities around the world for research positions and I feel that something about my long and complicated asian name in all capitals popping into their inboxes might be kind of off-putting. What are all of your thoughts on this? Would you think it was some kind of spam and would a name like that prevent you from taking an email seriously?
