New Comment:
I have isolated the problem, and it is not with sendmail. Please note
how I tested this:
$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

PHP does not any headers or encodes the body at all, we simply pipe the
data through the sendmail binary on your system so if anything changes
it is there where that happens.

Description:
------------
system: vanilla rhel 3.0
original php version: 4.3.2
manually compiled and installed 4.3.9, but the bug persists
I have noticed that simple mail() calls result in php adding erroneous
headers in addition to and in conflict with those that I supply. In
particular, the erroneous headers are:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
and php encoding the body into base 64, which shouldn't happen:
"body" gets encoded as Ym9keQ==
*please*, if this is to be expected, point me to some documentation, or
some explanation. All my web based mail tools are broken due to the
additional header, and mail I send through them comes out all garbled,
because the mail script encodes the message, and then It gets encoded
*again*. please.
Thanks so much.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$more test.php
<?
$header = "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii";
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'subject', 'body', $header);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Here's What I would Expect:
$php -d sendmail_path=/bin/cat test.php
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: subject
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
body
Actual result:
--------------
Here's what I get. Please note the erroneous and conflicting
Content-Type header, and the un-invited content-transfer encoding that
has been applied:
$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

Here's the same thing, piped through xdd:
