If the first if part of the body (don't get me wrong - I like the idea), then they should not define the *terminator* to be ".." They should say something more like, "The terminator is ., but only if immediately preceded by or as the first three bytes of the stream." > (Thus, SMTP makes it impossible to send a message that ends with > text other than a line ending.) Okay, so then any sending MUA effectively augments your message if it's lacking the final ? I didn't know that, but it could make sense. -- Steven E.
