Bug description:  body output of mail() adds eroneous characters breaking output

Description:
------------
After asking users to input data into a form an email is 
sent with a summary of the form to people that need the 
information. For some reason the source gets corrupted 
and PHP adds  an "!" in random areas in the body. Note 
the "!" below. This was reproducible in 4.3.9 as well 
and an upgrade did not solve the problem

Feature</span></td><td>NA</td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</
td><td><span class="main">Version</span></td><td>NA</
td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><span 
class="main">Build</span></td><td>NA</td></
tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></
tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><span class="main">Document
tr>!
 Name</sp
an></td><td>test</td></tr><tr><td>

Reproduce code:
---------------
I think you need to have a message body with a lot of characters in order
to reproduce. I am using a style sheet as well built into the html page
that is sent.

Expected result:
----------------
clean html output to be displayed in the email client.

Actual result:
--------------
broken html output. The above source looks like this:

Total Failures
< span class="main">Total Untested 
Overall Status 
 
Where the html is now exposed to the page because of 
broken tags.
