SMTP has a special tag (a dot on a line by itself) to signal the end of
a data block (i.e. the body of email). To avoid issue of truncating the
message (and because nntp messages could also be sent as email), some
smart*** found it simpler to "escape" the starting dot of any text by
doubling it.
The same "magic" happens if you start a line of text with From : it get
escaped, but this time by being quoted with a ">".
Of course, as it is unlikely to happen in real-life (and casual tests),
it is often unnoticed.
