>What hi-ascii bug?  I've used Emailer 2.0v3 for years and never 
>encountered (or even heard of) this.

When
- a line starts with a quote sign (>)
- the line contains a non-ascii character (accented letters etc., mainly 
a concern for non-english languages)
- the line has a specific lenght (around 76-80, where Emailer wraps)
- the line ends with a dot

Then Emailer wraps the dot alone to a new line, which happens to be the 
ancient End Of Message tag (a line containing just a dot and a return).

So Emailer interprets that End tag and doesn't send the rest of the 
message.

Solution: run a script that fixes suspect lines by adding a space after 
the dot (this script's name is "Avoid QP truncation"). I've planned doing 
so for a long long time, just didn't bother putting it in OSA Menu's 
scripts menu and giving it a keyboard shorcut yet. But I should. I will. 
My excuse for postponing it is that I'd like to build another script that 
would merge the features of "Avoid QP truncation" and "Check before 
send", because there's no point in fixing a message before the moment 
it's sent.

Lazy solution: in the meantime, revert to 2.0v1 for "normal" operation 
and cope with its limitations and older bugs.
