Note Submitter: aris AT riponce DOT com ---- If you decide to send mail over an SMTP connection instead of using mail(), keep these hints in mind: - Separate the header list from the message body with a single blank line. This way if the message body contains text that matches the headers you are safe. - Apply the "hidden dot algirithm" to the body text. This simply means that if a line begins with a single "." just replace it with two dots "..". Example: BEFORE: ------------------- Subject: My message Errors-To: me@mine.com Subject: Lunch Remember the following items: item 1 . . . Item 21 --------------------- AFTER: --------------------- Subject: My message Errors-To: me@mine.com Subject: Lunch Remember the following items: item 1 .. .. .. Item 21 -----------------------
