Comment:

 Dear Kelderic, yes, I had noted that thread regarding PHPmailer 6. Since
 it seems that the underlying cause had not been discovered by them, I have
 now posted the information to their thread, about the breaking change in
 PHP 7 with the win32 implementation of mail(), and the intended future
 major change to mail().

 I also suggested to them a pragmatic approach for PHPmailer 6 which would
 maintain backward compatibility with both operating system families and
 both PHP versions.

 (The whole thing is quite a mess. If have been watching generations of PHP
 developers trying tackle this for more than 10 years, alternately trying
 to enforce RFC compliance, followed by retractions when they realize the
 legacy impact.)
