 Operating System: Linux
 PHP Version:      4.3.2
 New Comment:

The problem does not appear under Windows, and I can't update php on
the server where I test :/.

But probably, the sequence \r\n provokes a problem with sendmail and/or
qmail. 
It should be \n, not ?

( Skip_long_header_sep was not modifyed between php 4.3.2 and 4.3.3dev,
and I see anybody that sequences \r\n are transformed \n before the
sending in sendmail/qmail)

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

It works perfectly on 4.3.3dev for me.

"The separator for long headers should be "\r\n" followed by either a
space or a "\t""

It is exactely what i do..
The bug tracker put the long subject of my previous example on 2 lines
but it is a sequence \r\n<SP>

This code also reproduces the bug : 

mail(
  'bobe@phpcodeur.net',
  "this is a long subject \r\n to test the mail function",
  'This is the message',
  "From: my@domain.tld\nMIME-Version: 1.0"
);

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The separator for long headers should be "\r\n" followed by either a
space or a "\t" no other character such as "\n" or "\r" will be
accepted. If you don't use tab or a space entire sequence will be
converted to spaces.

The bug occurs for example with this code :

mail(
'test@domain.tld',
"=?iso-8859-1?Q?ceci_est_un_petit_test_pour_d=E9terminer_les_bugs_?=\r\n
=?iso-8859-1?Q?existants_avec_la_classe_mail?=",
'This is the message',
"From: my@domain.tld\nMIME-Version: 1.0"
);

result is : 
------------
 =?iso-8859-1?Q?existants_avec_la_classe_mail?=
From: my@domain.tld
MIME-Version: 1.0

This is the message.
------------

Maybe that the problem occurs with qmail because there are sequences
\r\n instead of \n in long subject ?

parsing?
