[PHP] simple mail() question

[Adam Fleming]

Hello All,

I have a simple mail() question, and I hope a hero can shed some
light.  I can't understand why my messages are being encoded, and extra
headers are being added, *before* the message is sent through sendmail.

Infinite Thanks,

Adam

Input:
$more test.php
<?
 $header = "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii";
 mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'subject', 'body', $header);
?>

Expected Result:
$php -d sendmail_path=/bin/cat test.php
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: subject
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

body

Actual Result:
$php -d sendmail_path=/bin/cat test.php
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: subject
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
