Hi,

since reporting this on IRC didn't work, I'm trying it this way. Please note
that the patch is NOT tested. I don't have a working darcs build environment
anymore. Take it or leave it. More info in

  * Fix a bug in MIME encoding of bundles.
  
  When the line wrapper which generates "quoted printable" breaks a line right in
  front of a period, the period is doubled later because a single period on a
  line means "end of input" for sendmail. However, it is never de-duplicated and
  the resulting bundle becomes invalid.

I've been trying to reproduce this but haven't managed it yet with exim 
4.80 on Debian as sendmail. What would have been providing your sendmail 
command? I'm wondering if there's a difference there.

most likely postfix, though I am usually at the receiving end of this
bug. But I don't think it would make a difference.

I'm accepting this on the basis that 1) it looks legit and 2) it has
been in screened for a while and I've been using it to send bundles with
msmtp and it does not seem to cause harm.
