That's correct. Having read some RFCs on the subject, I am convinced that dot doubling is the result of buggy behavior or misconfiguration. See, e.g., (sorry, the gmane interface forces me to break the url over two lines) http://www.greatcircle.com/lists/majordomo-users/mhonarc/ majordomo-users.199506/msg00100.html The format of lyx files cannot be blamed for this, nor we should pretend that it is changed to account for broken software/configuration. > > The point is: no one has ever complained about this problem here before > > in the 10 years of LyX's existence.

I was exchanging lyx files by email for years and the only problem I saw was that dot doubling thing, which now I know occurs only when I download my email using POP3 with an "obscure" mailer. I was blaming TB for this but now that I know the culprit I was able to fix it. In your case it can be a misconfigured sendmail. The problem may occur when the mail gets delivered locally. Thereafter any mailer would show the double dots. Sendmail has configuration options for local delivery. See the above link about hints for what configuration parameters to check. -- Enrico
