Sending hebrew mails from PHP to Outlook

Mon Jan 17 16:49:24 IST 2011

When sending with charset=windows-1255 it works.
The problem was that the headers where terminated with \r\n instead of \n
only.
As for the UTF-8 problem, I am not going to solve it now. Windows-1255 is
enough for the customer.

Again spending hours of work because of Microsoft bugs.
