Not a Mutt bug: This is an SMTP thing, and Mutt doesn't speak SMTP.
No reason to avoid dots. Problem could be misconfiguration of your MTA,
or bad MTA or MDA further on the road.

No. Mutt passes mail to $sendmail on stdin, terminated with an EOF.
No special treatment of dot is involved.

When you post a new message, beginning a new topic, use the "mail" or
"post" or "new message" functions.
When you reply or followup, use the "reply" or "followup" functions.
Do not do the one for the other, this breaks or hijacks threads.
