I'm not sure what that means and what exactly goes wrong.  Where is it
decoded from the utf-7?

Did this work before I changed utf7.el recently to cope with more than
Latin-1?  If so, it's probably a coding conversion confusion, and
perhaps the dot is a mangled \201 or similar.  Previously the decoder
returned a unibyte string, which doesn't make much sense.  As far as I
could tell, that just happened to work by automatic conversion (in a
Latin-1 session).  You could test it by commenting out
`mm-enable-multibyte' in `utf7-decode'.  I can't, I'm afraid.
