The additional comments after a "." on an empty line are not emailed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Type a line of text in an additional comment. 2. Type a "." (without quotes) on an empty line 3. Type some more comments, but keep the dot on an (otherwise) empty line 4. Commit it Reproducable: always It is caused by calling sendmail without the "-i" option, From man 8 sendmail: -i Ignore dots alone on lines by themselves in incom­ ing messages. This should be set if you are read­ ing data from a file. Not sure what version of Bugzilla Mozilla is using, so setting version to unspecified. I've downloaded 2.14 and that version does not use the "-i" option in the file processmail.

Tested locally, works just like the man page says. How bout that. :)

Comment on attachment 67843 [details] [diff] [review] Patch I think I can review this. r=afranke I have tested it locally and successfully received a comment with line with a single dot. Don't know if it worked before, but at least it doesn't seem to break anything. Also, I have verified that there is no other sendmail call in a file in the toplevel bugzilla directory. So if it's up to me, I'd even say r=afranke x 2, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to review at all :-)

Comment on attachment 67843 [details] [diff] [review] Patch I guess my only question would be, does it work on postfix? But I really can't test that, and I haven't found any documentation on their web site about command line options. But I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, so: r=jake

I originally tested the -i option with Postfix and it works. When I reported the bug I only checked if Sendmail had a -i option in the man page. From man 8 sendmail (Postfix also has a sendmail like program) -i When reading a message from standard input, don´t treat a line with only a . character as the end of input.
