Gets or sets the option to protect a dot at the beginning of a line.
If true, the encoder encodes "." at the beginning of a line as "=2E".
Because of the way mail messages are sent in the SMTP and POP3 protocols, a dot (the character ".") at the beginning of a line is treated specially. A single dot on a line by itself indicates the end of the message. For this reason, the protocol implementation must scan every line for a dot at the beginning and "escape" it by adding an extra dot when sending, and "unescape" it by removing the extra dot when receiving. If this option is true, then the encoder encodes every dot at the beginning of a line using the hex encoding. Setting this option may provide better interoperability with SMTP or POP3 implementations that do not correctly handle the escaping or unescaping of the dot character.
The default value is true.
