The easiest way to find out what should be there is to:
1. go to the WL message, in the Summary window say.
2. type C-cl (org-store-link)
3. go to your org document where you want to link from
4. type C-cC-l (org-insert-link) and hit RET to accept the default which
should be the link you /stored/ above.

I didn't find that the . caused any problems (the majority of my
mailboxes are in maildir format). However, I must say that following
links to WL messages is not the most robust system. The problems are
not in org but in WL, as far as I can tell.
A couple of suggestions: make sure you have started WL *before*
attempting to follow a link from org in any case and make sure you don't
store a link from WL from within a filtered view.
Due to the problems with linking to WL message, and a few other issues,
I have recently moved back to GNUS which is basically more robust in all
ways (although has a much steeper learning curve... but that's a story
for another mailing list ;-).

One example I have looks like this =wl:.wlinbox#4C63A6XXX0304@XXX.ac.uk=
(with some bits replaced by XXX to protect the innocent)
