gmail's smtp servers check mail scrictly for rfcs, so mal formated 
mails are bounced. quoted-printable mails must not exeed line length 
over 76 chars.

if a line has exactly 76 chars and ends with a point and this line get 
a quote-prefix (like '>') this point goes (as a single char) to the 
next line. but a single point on a line marks the end of the mail, so 
gmail thinks that this mail violates mail-rfcs

original mail line [76 chars]:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy ei.

in a reply, the above mail line looks like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy ei
.
