Description:
------------
I've discovered a problem with the mail() function for PHP 4.3.3 on Win32.  I can not replicate this issue using 4.3.2 or 4.3.1.  I'm sending a multipart MIME text/html mail.  I'll post the small section of code where I insert the HTML section into the mail message.  I'll be the first to admit there are a lot of things I could be doing wrong here -- but I find it curious that that 4.3.2/1 works fine and 4.3.3 pukes up some strange garbage.

Reproduce code:
---------------
// section where I set the HTML headers

$Msg.="\n--".$IB."\n";
$Msg.="Content-Type: text/html;\n\tcharset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$Msg.="Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n";
$Msg.=chunk_split(base64_encode($Html))."\n\n";
$Msg.="\n--".$IB."--\n";
