Agree. I just wanted to show at least the one way found why/how it can 
happen, otherwise, with my tendency to give everyone the benefit of 
the doubt first, I would still be pulling my hair on this one. :)

There are some other insight to this, that IMV is worthy of 
implementation notes, but yes, I agree, the SMTP client MUST escape 
the dot lines if its not the true end of data marker.
