The script is simple (I changed my real domain to domain.tld):

<? mail("site@domain.tld","Site new
user","NEWUSERNAME","Content-Type:text/html; charset=koi8-r"); ?>

PHP 4.3.1 make this mail:
---------------------------------------------------

We can read RFCs too... but what we really want is a short
self-contained script that reproduces the problem (which is why we
directed you to the how-to-report page).
We don't want an edited version of the script and the results, because
we have no way to be sure that we are seing the same results as you.

RFC2822 "Internet Message Format"
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2822.txt
says:

A message consists of header fields (collectively called "the header
of the message") followed, optionally, by a body.  The header is a
sequence of lines of characters with special syntax as defined in
this standard. The body is simply a sequence of characters that
follows the header and is separated from the header by an empty line
(i.e., a line with nothing preceding the CRLF).

So, in my example all lines after "To: site@domain.tld" line
interpreted as message body. Therefor mail programm can't see other
headers and can't understand it's Subject, charset, etc.

BTW, mail function works correctly in PHP 4.3.1, and after upgrade to
4.3.2RC2 mail finctionality was broken. So, I downgraded to PHP 4.3.1.

Do you really think that it's a problem?

Anything in the RFC saying that it's bad?
