Description
Using PHP Version 5.1.6-pl6-gentoo, I tried to use Zend_Mail to send a confirmation email upon a user registration. I use HTML emails, and Zend's default transporter.
But sometimes spaces are inserted in the words, which would not be that bad if it didn't also sometimes break the link that the user must click in order to activate his account.
Edit 2007/03/13: I'll add that this behaviour has occurred when viewing the sent email in Gmail, and Mozilla Thunderbird. So far, my tests using Hotmail and Yahoo Mail have produced intact emails. Something to do with how the mail clients interprete the maximum line lengths, perhaps....
Here is some test code I made for an example:
<?
require_once('Zend.php');
function __autoload($class_name) {
Zend::loadClass($class_name);
}
define('SITE_NAME', 'MySite');
$email = 'v.marchand@gmail.com';
$username = 'vero';
$fullName = 'Vero. M.';
$url = 'http://www.' . SITE_NAME . '.com/Inscription/Confirmer/key/7b2836967a0829a13c4c910683c82038e582afac';
$body = "
<html>
<head>
<style>
body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 13px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p> Bonjour <b>" . $fullName . "</b>,</p>
<p>Merci de vous être enregistré avec <b>" . SITE_NAME . "</b>.</p>
<p>
Votre compte " . $username . " est présentement inactif. Pour être activé, il doit d'abord être validé en deux étapes.<br />
Pour la première étape de validation votre compte, veuillez tout simplement cliquer sur le URL ci-dessous (vous pouvez également le copier dans votre navigateur):
</p>
<a href='" . $url . "'>" . $url . "</a>
<p>Une fois votre adresse email validée, votre compte sera revu par l'équipe " . SITE_NAME . " et activé. </p>
<p>Merci!</p>
<p>L'Équipe " . SITE_NAME . "</p>
</body>
</html>
";
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setFrom('v.marchand@gmail.com', SITE_NAME);
$mail->addTo($email, $fullName);
$mail->setSubject('Votre inscription à ' . SITE_NAME);
$mail->setBodyHtml($body);
$mail->send();
?>
Here is the email I received on Gmail. Note the broken link, both in display (the space) and in the actual href (after the http:// )
< body>

Any suggestions? Perhaps there is a method I should use or setting I should change, but I'm not sure what exactly.
Thanks for your help.
PS: also you might notice that the "to" recipient is there twice. I think this is a known bug, but I'm bringing it up here too, because it's been slightly bothering me. 
Activity
I have sent the same email, with the same code posted earlier (in my first post) but with a CC to Simon and "ZF-1041" prefixing the mail subject.
The email shown in Gmail is the same as I posted before. I tried also with Thunderbird, same thing. On the other hand, the email displayed fine in Yahoo. But I haven't been able to find a way to print the original source in Yahoo mail, though. 
According to our sysadmin, we use postfix 2.2.10.
