[imp] Bug in mail-sending routine

[jlewis@lewis.org]

[From 'man sendmail']

       IgnoreDots
              Do not take dots on a line by themselves as a  mes­
              sage terminator.

That option generally should be used when piping a message into sendmail 
since you don't need/want the dot terminator behavior.
