This is the result of my experiment with \mark... and \uppercase. The
problem is that the argument of \mark... is MOVING, so that EVERYTHING
INSIDE must be protected. I am sending a short sample file (I don't know
how to make myheadings appear on the first page -- I use
fancyheadings.sty instead).

The file demonstrates the use of \uppercase with Danish. In real life I
use the real Danish letters generated by keyboard driver and accepted by
the text editor. However, they will not pass through mailers, so I use <
and > in this file.

Note the \protect command in the middle of the word. Without it,
\uppercase inside \mark... doesn't work. For the same reason you can use
neither \def\fyr{\uppercase{fyrt<jet}} nor \def\fyr{fyrt<jet}
\markright{\uppercase{\fyr}} -- they won't work but
\def\fyr{\uppercase{fyrt\protect<jet}} works.
