I used to see that as well. I *think* I finally tracked it to an odd issue of line wrapping an where it broke in relation to the end of a sentence. What happens is, you write your email, and if you are like me, you insert blank lines between paragraphs (which based off your email, this appears to be the case).

Emailer then wraps the lines as needed when sending the data to the mail server. If the wrap happens to flow to a point where the period for the end of your sentence/paragraph is wrapped as the only character on a line, then that is seen by the server as the end of the email (the end of data marker is CRLF . CRLF, or exactly what is sent to put a period on a line all by itself).

As for fixing it, I never did "fix" it for me, I just accepted it as an annoying occasional event. However, I do seem to recall someone had an applescript that would pre-wrap an email and make sure a period was not on a line by itself. This script may be on Fog City's web site.
