Unfortunately, blank is significant in the LyX format, and a newline is not equivalent to a blank. The format is very bad in this point if view. So a solution would be to change the format and replace "." by something like \dot (like we do for \backspace). But then lyx2lyx would have to be very very careful to avoid to replace \dot macros in mathed, for example. Moreover, I am not sure that ".<lf>" is the only bad case. In the example sent by Enrico I saw the errors for all lines beginning by ".". So, instead of redesigning our file format to avoid some program's bug, the energy would be better spent by giving a convincing test case to one of these thunderbird's bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259564 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47606 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196584 (where a possible workaround to a related problem is given) If you can describe precisely what combination of (Sender MUA, Sender OS, POP3 server, Receiver MUA, Receiver OS) causes the bug, it should be possible to fix.
