I'm sorry, try dropping the trailing \n. I'm going to sleep.

$headers .= "From: Christian Essner <cessner@centrosus.com>\n"; 

Should be:

$headers .= "From: Christian Essner <cessner@centrosus.com>\r\n"; 

I just caught that as I was passing through.

You may enter your email address here and have the html 
result sent to your email and check the source yourself 
when you receive the email.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc.

If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

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.
