Well.. as I'm able to replicate it w/ HEAD, I'm thinking maybe it's an MTA
problem (sendmail).

We're thinking it's a problem w/ "header folding" (as described in
RFC2822, sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.3).  I see where PEAR's Mail/sendmail.php
should be adding a blank line between the headers and body (around line
118)...

            fputs($mail, $text_headers);
            fputs($mail, $this->sep);  // newline to end the headers section
            fputs($mail, $body);

I upgraded to PEAR Mail 1.1.1 which "Minor fixes with newlines in
headers", and my test servers have stopped doing this.. so I'm going to
try a more widespread deployment.
