That is because in the smtp protocol, a period on a line by itself (<cr>.<cr>) signifies the end of a mail message, so _every_ e-mail client _must_ take care to avoid this. Now, since it's more customary to end a sentence with the period directly after the last word in most languages (all that I know, but maybe...) this shouldn't be a problem in most cases. (so if you want a period on a line by itself, append a space, nobody will see, but it won't be the end of your message either). -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post SARA - Reken- en Netwerkdiensten http://www.sara.nl High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 3000 Fax. +31 20 668 3167 PGP Key fingerprint = 6367 DFE9 5CBC 0737 7D16 B3F6 048A 02BF DC93 94EC "I really didn't foresee the Internet.
