Details

If read a newsposting or a mail message that contains a dot in the start of the 
line, mozilla add an extra dot.

So a newsposting that has:
. <- one dot
.. <- two dots

when reading it with mozilla becomes:
.. <- one dot
... <- two dots

Reading it with Netscape 4.76 shows only one dot. Reading it with Mozilla shows 
tow dots.
I just took a look at netscape.public.dev.css .
looked at this message : <3A2708FC.23371496@netscape.com>
posted with ns4.75. I see 2 dots instead of one.
someone with oe5 replied. in the replied part (that is, the initial message ;) ,
ONE dot.
The first poster replied. and this time he idented his css rules.
and I saw what I was supposed to see, a tabulation and one dot only.
example :
    .tHeaderCell {   /* one tab, one dot, works well with moz */

So... it *seems* to be a problem with moz "reading" the post, or receiving it...

I got the fix for this.  since my patch is in bug #66789, I'm marking as a dup.

it is on display, we never "unquote" the dot, like we did in 4.x
