Every time i write a pronoun, i leave it lowercase. That is, aside three cases: the first is when the pronoun begins a sentence, the second is when referring to God (and his two sublet, in Christianity), the third is referring to myself.
But, people write "me", not "Me", and "my", not "My". Why, then, write "I" and not "i"? It's truly weird, as i don't get the point.

(Using "i" instead of "I" and "his" instead of "His" was deliberate.)

It was originally capitalized to avoid confusion and misreading. In handwritten manuscripts, i would have appeared as a small stroke that could easily have been missed. A capital I did not have the same problem.
