Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: Mail related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 4.1.2
Assigned To: yohgaki
New Comment:
The PHP documentation now asks for "\n" , which is correct for its
implementation in Unix systems, so the bug as originally reported is
solved. I can't comment on whether this change might have caused
problems in Windows, but I assume not.
Note: This was not just an issue with qmail; it also affected postfix's
implementation of 'sendmail'.

nevermind, please delete my previous comment. qmail is broken and dead.
let's just move forward instead of trying to support legacy software and
holding technology back.
please close this ticket and label it as "will not fix," which i
suppose is the correct status.

what php needs is to make the $headers argument for the mail() function
an array instead of a string and then php will automagically put the
correct line endings depending on what OS it's running on. \n for unix,
\r\n for windows, \r for mac
you can keep it backwards compatiable by accepting a string as well.
also add another option in the php.ini to enable/disable the mangling
of the header line endings.
could we get an update on this bug please?

So has there been any resolution to this? Has PHP made any
modifications to their mail function? or provided a better work around?

I agree with @patpro, mail() should reformate the headers.
This is my quick-and-dirty workaround (from a Q&D specialist) , in
/etc/php.ini :
sendmail_path = "unix2dos|dos2unix|sendmail -t -i"

I suddenly had header problems. Perhaps my host changed mail configs or
updated PHP (they never reply to my email, so I don't ask many
question). In any case, all my beautiful HTML emails were being sent
out with broken headers that yturned them into ugly unreadable text and
code.
I am on a Unix server, so I changed all my /r/n newlines to /n. This
fixed the issue immediately. If you find this happens to you, just use
the appropriate newline characters for your host OS.
THANKS for pointing out this bug!
