Details
this was reported from an external source, following is the information that has
been submitted thus far:
If the line breaks at the 75th character, and that character happens to be a
period (.), the 75th character is changed to an equal sign (as Netscape always
does at the end of a line) and an extra period is added. Example:
http://click.mp3.com/c/n_443144294/t_hBU/u_www/promos/cinram/partners/index=
..html?lang=3Deng
should be:
http://click.mp3.com/c/n_443144294/t_hBU/u_www/promos/cinram/partners/index.html
?lang=3Deng
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I've done some investigating on my end and here's what I've found out:
SMTP (the mail protocol used between mail servers) adds an
extra period at the beginning of any line that starts with
a period. The client on the remote end is supposed to remove
the extra period.
The following unix shell script can be used to duplicate the
problem we are seeing in Net. 6.0:
#!/bin/sh
### Change the TO value to something appropriate
