Hi, I'm here! Yes, this was an issue in vX, and was fixed at some point (If I recall correctly, it was only an issue when the single period was 'linewrapped' to a line on it's own, never when you typed '<return><period><return>'.
However, as Beth says, this was fixed (for mail) at some point, either in one of the vX service packs or in the update to 2004. News is a different kettle of fish and we discovered much later that the issue was still present for news messages (worse in fact, because any line starting with a period would truncate a news message). I'm 99.9% sure it was fixed by 11.2.1, but why not apply the latest updates to bring yourself up to 11.2.5 anyway - even if it doesn't fix that issue there will be several bug & security issues fixed besides. -- Barry > From: Beth Rosengard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 23:12:57 -0700 > To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> > Conversation: Period equals "end of message" > Subject: Re: Period equals "end of message" > > Hi Barbara, > > Are you talking about all plain text messages or just those sent to > newsgroups, by any chance?
