Description:
------------
The problem is that mail function does not parse correct parameters when sending emails. It does not prints out all new line characters which are sent in the header.

I marked those missing \n in the example.

I also found the same problem here http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/php-windows/2508303

I made a lot of tests and seem to be general problem on any windows platform or version of PHP. When I open the source of broken email and just add those four missing \n in the ascii editor the email becomes correct and attacment also.

I also noticed that all \n chars missing in the message body. So I think it is general problem with \n chars in the process of generating email message.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$header    .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=$uid\n\n";
$header    .= "--$uid\n";
$header    .= "Content-Type: text/plain;\n";
$header    .= "\t";
$header    .= "charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$header    .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n\n"; //the second \n is missing
$header    .= "$message\n\n"; //the second \n is missing
$header    .= "--$uid\n";
$header    .= "Content-Type: application/msword;\n";
$header    .= "\t";
$header    .= "name=\"invoice.doc\"\n";
$header    .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$header    .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n";
$header    .= "\t";
$header    .= "filename=\"invoice.doc\"\n\n"; //the second \n is missing
$invoice	= chunk_split(base64_encode($invoice));
$header    .= "$invoice\n\n"; //the second \n is missing
$header    .= "--$uid\n";

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Even if you think it is not a bug, we often know better than you,
please consult the support channels first before even considering
to reopen this report.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

You\'re abusing the header parameter for email content (body).
