Mutt has this problem in my case. I guess this is because your thunderbird encoded the file (in base64 I assume) before it pass the mail to sendmail, or did not use sendmail at all. Can you report here the result when you send your lyx file with mutt? As for reporting the bugs, I do not think sendmail will change this behavior, and MS will not listen to me. > The workaround for users is simple - compress the file. First, we need to let *everyone* know this. Second, it is not convenient to compress and decompress a file. > An email client that add dots to dots (and removes the extras upon > reception) may also show the opposite problem - removal of doubled dots > that was supposed to be there.

So to completely avoid/fix this problem, we will have to wait for the replacement of sendmail, which is unlikely to happen in the near future. Bo
