s9y will encode the body of its auto-generated
mails as quoted-printable when imap_8bit() is
available. imap_8bit() will use "\r\n" as
linebreaks as mandated for SMTP transfer.
The result will be transmitted via PHP's
mail() function, using direct SMTP on
Windows and piping it to a MTA on Unix.
Most MTAs will cope just fine with those
linebreaks, while qmail will not; it will
replace all "\n" linebreaks with "\r\n",
so we get "\r\r\n" in our case. We can't
"fix" qmail (as its maintainer, if there
even is one, does not consider this
behaviour wrong), but we can replace the
line endings we get from imap_8bit().
The fix does work with qmail and Exim and
should work with sendmail and Postfix and
other MTAs, too. It may break sending
mail on Windows (i.e. lose all linebreaks),
but I think that's acceptable, as we'll
have more qmail installation than Windows
servers out there.
A workaround could be to set
serendipity['forceBase64']=true in
serendipity_config_local.inc.php, but I'd
prefer this fix.
Fixes#644.
