I think I managed to fix the issues that Smapi/JamNNTPd have with lines starting with a dot.

Edit nntpserv.c and make these two changes:

1. Replace this:

if(stricmp(buf,".")==0) /* "." means end of message in NNTP */
strcpy(buf,"..");

by this:

if(buf[0]=='.')
memmove(buf+1,buf,strlen(buf)+1);

2. Insert this:

if(line[0]=='.')
memmove(line,line+1,strlen(line));

just before this:

if(textpos + strlen(line) > POST_MAXSIZE-1)

I had asked about that at one point, when I discovered I only need to put two dots at the beginning of a tearline and Smapinntpd will add a third. Is that not an NNTP standard? I thought I read about that somewhere...

Tommi already explained. ;-)

With lines starting with a dot, Smapi/JamNNTpd inserts and extra dot when posting, and removes it when reading. So you don't see (or write) the same as if you use a normal Fidonet (or BBS) editor.

Those changes I posted should address this issue.

Attempting it now by adding a third dot to my tagline. :)

Are you adding taglines to your messages in Thunderbird or in SmapiNNTPd?

This is the most action Jam/Smapinntpd has gotten in over a decade. It's kinda exciting. :)

I think in Thunderbird, otherwise the missing dot problem wouldn't be there at all. :)

I'm using the SmartTemplates add-on for Thunderbird. You can set your greeting, signature, and tagline in that (not using TB's default signature), then position your cursor where you want it whether it's a new message, reply/followup, or forward.
