I have just made some tests (from several Webmail and from Thunderbird). 
Each time, the message was truncated starting from the line containing a 
point alone.
I read the received messages with Thunderbird.

My gateway has : Postfix -> Bogofilter -> Postfix

I examined the sources of Bogofilter and I found these lines in 
"bogoreader.c" (line 567):

         if ((count == 2 || count == 3) &&
	    (buf[0] == '.') &&
	    (buf[1] == '\r' || buf[1] == '\n'))
             dot_found = true;

Thus, Bogofilter does a particular treatment when it find a single dot 
in a line.
I did not found what it does, because I don't know C language enough.
