Be aware that some combinations of never identified php configurations
and/or mailer MTAS do not seem to like the extra "\r" even though its
strict RFC compliant.
I spent several hours trying various combinations before I settled on a
simple "\n" only, and mail worked as expected.

Where PHP or the MTA was adding in the "\r" automatically I never
discovered, but something was. (linux system)

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
