Operating system: Windows 2000 SP 4
PHP version: 4.3.8
PHP Bug Type: Mail related
Bug description: Certain subject Line characters cause mail() to fail
Description:
------------
The mail function cannot send the email has certain characters. For
instance the following will not work
$subject = "Joe bloggs edited the Personnel Record of Joe bloggs";
If I strip out the 'd's, it does work:
$subject = "Joe bloggs edite the Personnel Recor of Joe bloggs";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", $subject, "test", "");
My php.ini has the following values:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.arts.ac.uk
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The problem also occurs on Linux running PHP Version 4.3.2
Looking in /var/log/maillog:
