It is part of the nntp standard during the nntp transfer, but it is NOT needed
to remove/add the dots in fido msgbase. :)

=== Cut ===

   If the text contained a period as the first character of the text
   line in the original, that first period is doubled.  Therefore, the
   client must examine the first character of each line received, and
   for those beginning with a period, determine either that this is the
   end of the text or whether to collapse the doubled period to a single
   one.
