But one message earlier, you said that "<CRLF>.<CRLF>" is the
terminator.  Now you are saying ".<CRLF>" is the terminator.  Which
one is it?  (I vote for ".<CRLF>", opposing the example in the RFC.)

Presumably, an SMTP server reading the DATA command will also read the
<CRLF> that follows it.  Hence, the <CRLF> is not available for the
subsequent end of data indication anymore.
