I think I found the problem. There seems to be a limit 
for the message body in html and potentially text output 
as well at 2040 characters for mail(). I ran a few tests 
using different forms and different input and the "!" is 
added always as the 2041st character.

changed:

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

to

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

no change.

Are you able to reproduce the problem?

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.
