Show of hands: Who knew exactly where this was going as soon as "SMTP" was mentioned?

I first encountered this when I was writing a WAP[1] mail client in ColdFusion[2]. I must have read the entire SMTP spec 20 times before I spotted my mistake.

As soon as "missing period" was mentioned I suspected it would be about SMTP.
