A '.' char on a line by its own in the forwarded message
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:50 amHi,
I posted (through SG) recently to a mailing list that I gave an SG address to. The post described an error in executing a command.
The output of the command was around 200 lines with an error in the last 10 lines. I wanted to start the output from the beginning - say 10 lines - indicate some sort of continuation and then provide the last 10-15 lines that had the error. I used . in a line by itself for 3 lines kind of like a vertical ellipsis (...) to indicate the continuation.
When I received the email back from that mailing list, I saw that SG had forwarded only the lines upto the beginning of the ellipsis - I am assuming it was SG (could it have been the mailing list software?). So, the SG service kind of truncated my message because of the '.' on a line by itself.
Is this possibly due to a bug in SG - can it be fixed? (Or is it a bug in the mailing list software on the target mail server?)
Thanks,
vsp
