    -i
    This option, which has the same effect as -oi, specifies that a
    dot on a line by itself should not terminate an incoming, non-SMTP
    message. I can find no documentation for this option in Solaris 2.4
    Sendmail, but the mailx command in Solaris 2.4 uses it. See also -ti.

According to SUNOS5.4, Maintainence Commands, Sendmail(1M),
modified 16 Feb 1994, Page 1M-529
at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19457-01/801-6680-1M/801-6680-1M.pdf

    i    Do not take dots on a line by themselves as a message terminator.

It is related to Solaris 2.4 by https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19457-01/

I therefore suggest:

    -i
    This option, which has the same effect as -oi, specifies that a
    dot on a line by itself should not terminate an incoming, non-SMTP
    message. Solaris 2.4 Sendmail has a similar i processing option, and
    therefore a -oi command line option, which is used by its mailx command. 
    See also -ti.

That is, to replace

I can find no documentation for this option in Solaris 2.4 Sendmail, but the
mailx command in Solaris 2.4 uses it

with

Solaris 2.4 Sendmail has a similar i processing option, and therefore a -oi
command line option, which are used by its mailx command
