Ooh. Three now.

In your headers:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

IIRC this is a bad thing (as was concluded on p5p a couple of years ago).
There discussion about why (on balance) it's a bad thing [mangling patches
being one of the reasons] and IIRC instructions on how to turn it off in
the discussion. It may well also be the thing adding the dots. (maybe not)

IIRC. I use mutt, so I don't remember the details. I think Dan was part of
the discussion, and I find this in one of his messages.

X-Sender: dan@pop.sidhe.org
X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1

(I also found this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
)

Here's 0,1,2,3,4 dots at the start of a line to see if it's the list software,
also Bcc'ed to me somewhere else as a control [should be fairly reliable, it's
exim all the way there]
