For what it's worth, the SMTP and NNTP protocols* both use the sequence
"\r\n.\r\n" as meaning "end of data".  Depending on the quality of your
newsreader**, it might not be aware of this and won't filter it out of your
post.  Having that embedded gives you an unexpectedly truncated message, just
like you have here.


* - For those not in the know, these are for email (outbound) and usenet
respectively
** - Was it the newsreader on digitalmars.com?
