Note: Arggh, resending because the example lines were getting extra
dots, so I am adding a leading space before each line!
must be missing something here. I noticed two MUAs, Outlook and
Thunderbird adding extra dots for lines I would not expect it would.
For testing, I sent a simple text message with these five lines only:
. one
.. two
... three
.... four
..... five
At my receiver, a socket read DATA block dump showed the MUAs sending
an extra dot on each line:
.. one
... two
.... three
..... four
...... five
. <-- expected <CRLF>.<CRLF> terminator
Why? Is that correct?
What caught my eye was an intermediary also adding extra dots, in this
case, a message I set to a list had a line beginning with:
... blah, blah
But it showed up here with two extra dots:
..... blah, blah
So when I begin testing why, I noticed the MUA was adding one extra
and the intermediary adding one extra itself.
Is this normal?
