works for sendmail. sendmail finds the end of a message by
either a lone '.' or EOF on the input. -oi tells send mail to ignore a
lone '.' but this does not slove the smtp problem. smtp still sees the
lone '.' as the end of message delimiter.
sendmail v8 disables the -oi option for the smtp mailer.
see the bat book: sendmail, also from o'reilly, p514
