Okay, that sounds reasonable. So an empty body doesn't *need"
"<CRLF>.<CRLF>" to terminate. It only needs ".<CRLF>" to terminate. If
the body isn't empty, we leave the first <CRLF> as part of the body
and discard the ".<CRLF>". That would match the behavior I've seen on
MTAs I've tested with. This interpretation makes sense, but it's not
immediately apparent from reading RFC821.
