Please post a short, complete TDSDUMP log illustrating the problem.  

Your mail refers to '.', which looks like ASCII 0x2E (46).  That's about
as nonspecial as they come.  I suspect the email system mangled your
message, and that you're talking about values in the range of [128-255]. 
Is that the case.  

What are your client and server encodings (character sets)?  What is the
"client charset" in freetds.conf?
