You did something like this [imagine that `ae' and `AE' are real characters]:

\catcode`ae=\active    \chardef ae="1A
\catcode`AE=\active    \chardef AE="1D   

\uccode ae=AE    \lccode ae=ae
\uccode AE=AE    \lccode AE=ae

This has the effect of assigning upper and lower case codes to the
ASCII characters with codes "1A and "1D.  The correct approach is to say:

\uccode`ae=`AE    \lccode`ae=`ae
\uccode`AE=`AE    \lccode`AE=`ae

This should be done before making them active.

Rolf> 2. The characters did't have a matchode. In Latin1, e and E have matchodes

Rolf> \defe{}\defE{} 				% Get rid of cmr's definotion

Rolf> \lccode`e=`e\uccode`e=`E 
Rolf> \lccode`E=`e\uccode`E=`E 

Rolf> \sfcode`e=1000\sfcode`E=999

Rolf> \mathcode`e="70E5\mathcode`E="70C5	% Let TeX know where e and E are
Rolf> 					% We don't use \chardef at all!

Rolf> \catcode`e=11\catcode`E=11		% cmr wants 13, now we want 11

Rolf> Anyway, I think it was the mathcodes that satisfied my TeX.

Math codes don't have anything to do with this particular problem.
