Receiving message from LMTP, for example with:

from smtplib import LMTP
with LMTP("::1", port=1025) as lmtp:
    lmtp.set_debuglevel(2)
    lmtp.sendmail(
        "bob@example.tld",
        "alice@example.tld",
        "From: bob@example.tld\r\nTo: alice@example.tld\r\nSubject: Hello\r\n\r\nWorld\r\n",
    )

Will lead to the following RFC822 content:

From: bob@example.tld
To: alice@example.tld
Subject: Hello

World
.

And Thunderbird will display:

World
.

This final dot is part of the LMTP protocol, and not of the IMF/MIME message.
