This is not a PHP bug...this is the proper behavior.

If you don't want it, there is no need to hack the source, just
add -i to "sendmail_path" in your php.ini !

A dot on a line by itself is supposed to terminate the email, and
users should be able to count on that.

Closing this, nothing relevant left.
