I don't recall seeing any dots used as the subject, although I've used a
couple myself in the text portion within the past few weeks.

Actually, I'm wondering why anyone would put the dot in the subject line.
If the dot is to affect a thread, then changing the subject would change
the thread, no?

This bears some testing.

Gene,
Why do dots affect your antivirus?

Whoops! Now my response to you showed up under the

" ." header.

As usual, I'm confused.

Dont be. posted with the descriptive part of his/its
name set to "Gene Kearn's Chuckie Dot Nightmare" on an easynews server,
changing the subject to "." and typing a single "." as the message
contents. Gene uses Roadrunner and a completely different (and also
bogus, I suspect, email address). I smell a large and hairy TROLL.

Incidentally freak.com is registered to Contrast Technologies, Inc. of
Cherry Hill, NJ and is currently with a domain parking service,
namely domains.googlesyndication.com, I wonder if 'freak' is an
authorised user ;-)

Finally, if you want/need to use a bogus email address, please tack
'.invalid' on the end to guarantee some poor ******* isn't getting the
spam YOU are avoiding.

This newsgroup is full of a**holes hiding behind bogus names and bogus
email addresses.

And a neat name-caller trying to get the real ones for nefarious purposes!

Gene,
Why do dots affect your antivirus?

Detects it as measles?

CWM
That seem way to obvious, I don't know why I missed it.

John H
Gene,

I'm not entirely sure, but it appears that it saw the subject as "."
which it flagged as suspicious and asked me if I wanted to delete the
message body. Seeing no point in reading about the subject "." I told
it to delete the message(s).....

It seems to me that Chuckie dots are making your life easier.
