Package: hypermail
Version: 2.1.8-1
Severity: important

By default hypermail outputs in the first line an XML header like this:

<?xml ... ?>

There is a lot of PHP code out there, which is written in the short tag form:
<? phpcode(); ?>

If also files with *.html extensions are parsed by PHP, then it is not
possible to output HTML file generated by hypermail.

In short:

if(short_open_tag = On in php configuration for the apache 
        && "AddType application/x-httpd-php .html" in apache configuration)
        {
                hypermail generated output=broken (only a PHP error message
                appears);
        }

This setup is quite common, and a header like the present one is not
necessary to comply with XML or XHTML standards.
