First of all only lines _with_a_single_dot_ should be escaped. So this : ..com has not to be escaped. Then, when the recipient's MUA see a line containing .. it should remove one of them. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
