New Comment:
I had several links in my HTML email. The effect described above could
be resolved by adding the target attribute to the link.
Note that exactly the same HTML would be correct and would bring no
error within browsers. This effect only applies to HTML emails sent with
the PHP mail() function.
<a href="url">text</a>
in some emails causes the characters <p> to be inserted at the end of
paragraphs or spaces to be inserted within words (splitting them up) in
the subsequent html
<a href="url" target="_self">text</a> (also target="_blank" or
whatever)
does not bring this effect

I have this problem with PHP 5.2.5.
Seems that when the message exceeds a certain length it adds strange
characters (</p> in the message, splits a word with a space character,
...)

I ran into this same problem. I was able to fix it by adding in
newline characters. From what I can determine, it is caused by too many
characters on one line.
In my case, I was sending an HTML e-mail and I didn't bother with
newlines because I was using HTML formatting.
By adding newline characters (I added them where I would if I were
creating a nicely formated HTML webpage) I was able to avoid this bug.
I hope this helps you guys too.

I am using a standard Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake installation (PHP 5.1.2,
Postfix ,and Apache 2.0.55 (unbutu)) and am having similar problems.
extra characters are are very consistent, and all emails with too-long
lines are getting that "!/n" characters put in.

I'm a web developer and I've been experiencing a very similar problem.
Infact, it almost identical to the problem reported in Bug #31496 (I
would have added my comment there, but I couldn't do so because it was
listed as "Bogus").
But in my case, the problem is INTERMITTENT, where the garbage
exclamation point character ! will appear in different places in a given
message. (If it occurs at all). Sometimes the messages will be prefectly
fine. Other times, I'll get an exclamation point somewhere in the body
of the message. And other times, there will be several exclamation
points in a given message.
I strongly suspected the Zend Optimizer causing these bugs, as it tries
to look ahead, it may be invoking the mail/sendmail program inproperly
or before the message has finished being fully formed.
Please respond with any opinions on that theory. Thanks
Steve
