Section: 3

Original Text
-------------
Naturally, the usual SMTP data-stuffing algorithm applies, so that a
content that contains the five-character sequence of
<CR> <LF> <DOT> <CR> <LF>
or a content that begins with the three-character sequence of
<DOT> <CR> <LF>
does not prematurely terminate the transfer of the content.

Corrected Text

content that contains the five-character sequence of

or a content that begins with the three-character sequence of
<DOT> <CR> <LF>
would prematurely terminate the transfer of the content.

Notes
