Re: does your mail() base64 encode messages?

I have an unexpected and perplexing problem. PHP's mail() function is base64 encoding all message bodies as an ill-formed MIME attachment resulting in the recipient seeing an uninteligable base64 encoded string. This only happens to my account with my host and neither I or the sysadmin can see why as there are no special configuration settings for me. The host is running PHP4.3.10. Here's what is happening: This code <?php mail ( "me@myhost.tld", "test script", "Foo!", "");

Try mail("me@myhost.tld","test script","Foo!"); Don't send empty headers -- it might be causing the problem. Fwiw, I have never encountered this issue.
