I've been trying to debug another implementation of an SMTP mail agent,
and one of the problems I'm facing is dealing with a '\n.\n' embedded
in the body of the mail.

It appears that Sendmail 5.61 deals correctly with this during the 
SMTP exchange of mail, but when I try to do something like 
'sendmail -t -v < item'    where item has a '\n.\n' in it, sendmail
truncates the mail at the dot, before it ever gets to SMTP.

Does anybody have any idea where this is occurring?
