When I send a mail that has a line with a single dot in it, the mail is cut.
Example mail:

Test end

As I understand it, the problem is that mail-agents use this single dot on a
line as a mail-end marker. Using other webmail programs there I have no
problems. The problem wouldnt be that serious, if this happens also under
some other circumstances:

After som investigation I found out that mail is cut when I have a long word
at the end of a paragraph that contains a german umlaut and that ends with a
dot. I set the automatic line break in horde to 80 chars. Here is a test
mail:

Test begin
if I have a paragraph that ends with a german word with an umlaut in it,
the
mail is cut. My settings in horde are to do a line break when the line
exceeds
80 chars.

This is the paragraph:
This is a paragraph that is two lines long. It ends with a dot. If the width
is
set to 80 the rest of the mail is cut if there is a long wor durchgeführt.

Here is the next paragraph. You will not receive it, because the mail ist
cut at
the end of the previous paragraph.

Test end
