Is this still true? If so, it still violates internet standards,
and would be completely broken for mail() as of PHP 8.0.0[1].

We have same problem on *nix system with PHP 5.1.6 and PHP 5.3.2. In mail function is allowed to use
only \r\n to separate chunks of subject, but email with this subject is damaged when processed by
microsoft SMTP server (I think some kind of exchange server). In damaged email are chunks of
subjects followed by two new lines, which means end of header. Below you can see broken email
headers. The part after "MIME-Version: 1.0" is supposed to be message body, but you can se
fragments of second and following lines of chunked subject, and email headers, which was after
subject in original email.

Description:
------------
The SKIP_LONG_HEADER_SEP macro only permits CR-LF-WSP as a separator which works fine for SMTP, but
sendmail under NIX requires LF as the new line character. The macro doesn't skip over LF-WSP
which causes the LF to be replaced with a space, unfolding the header. This makes it near impossible
to use UTF-8/etc. encoded strings for these headers.
I posted to internals about this problem: http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=125110373328523&w=2
Reproduce code:
---------------
mail('tester@example.net', "Reproduction test e-mail for PHP bug breaking the correct
wrapping\n of e-mails with long To/Subject headers.", 'Testing...');
Expected result:
----------------
To: tester@example.net
Subject: Reproduction test e-mail for PHP bug breaking the correct wrapping of e-mails with long
To/Subject headers.
Testing...
Actual result:
--------------
To: tester@example.net
Subject: Reproduction test e-mail for PHP bug breaking the correct wrapping
of e-mails with long To/Subject headers.
Testing...
