185923 - mail has extra period at end of message

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97912

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

When using the mail client to send an email, and then using the client to
receive the email, an extra period is ended to the end of it a few lines down.
For example, I sent an email from one account to another, which are both checked
with Mozilla, and this is the email sent vs. the email received (this is only
the body of the email)
Sent:

test

Received:

test



.

I have tried this from two different computers with the same results. I have
also tried setting a signature but it just adds the period later down.  Oddly, I
used a web-based client to check an email sent from the client, and it did not
show the extra period, which makes me think it just isn't being stripped from
somewhere.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send email from Mozilla Mail Client 
2. Receive email with the mail client

Actual Results:  
extra period was added

Expected Results:  
not had the period

I wouldn't see how this would affect it at all, but I had manually editted the
prefs.js file because the smtp server was using the wrong username with the
account (I later found the smtp manager).  I didn't do it on one of the
computers that had the same results, though.

earlyer occurances: bug 97912, bug 102845

according to comment http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102845#c5
adding this in prefs is a workaround:
user_pref("mail.server.default.dot_fix", false);
