There is no preceeding '.' in your mail. I noticed that you have sent mail
using twiggi. Is twiggi configured to use SMTP for sending mail? If so,
then there appears to be a flaw in the SMTP implementation in twiggi -
periods at start of line need to be treated specially.

Note also that ". uninstall.sh" and "sh uninstall.sh" are not the same
thing. Using "." from an interactive shell is best avoided, as it pollutes
the running shell's variable space.
