Your first 6 lines match my post exactly, but for some reason,
there are two leading dots in your lines 7 and 8:

My original post has only one leading dot in these lines
(at least for me).
Does a leading '.' have a special meaning in some mailers??
Does anyone else have '..' at the front of lines 7 and 8?
The original post should have no '..' at all, so you
might try to correct the problem with something like:
perl -pe 's/\.\././g' /tmp/japh >/tmp/japh2
