I recently downloaded the OpenPOP API version:
2004.06.16.1248 and found that it does not properly
handle lines of text in the body of the message that
begin with a period (".") character. According to
RFC1932 the server will prepend a period character to
any line that begins with a period character. It is
up to the client to strip these back off as it
receives the message. The OpenPOP client fails to do
this.
To replicate this problem create a text message
similar to the following:
Line 2 should have a single dot.
.
Line 4 should have text following a leading dot.
.Hello World
The above message is currently received as:
Line 2 should have a single dot.
..
Line 4 should have text following a leading dot.
..Hello World
