I recognized the problem on sight; we solved this exact issue but since it was MTA software we knew about periods being special. Unfortunately, people are often solving problems that many others have solved. Maybe AI will allow the lines to be connected or solve for known edge cases like a dot in the smtp data

you know, now that you mention this, i think i have heard of this exact problem before, perhaps from the late 90s; the "full stop on a line by itself" itched a bit, probably for that reason as well.
