[ZendTo] Re: Extra newlines and email headers

[Jules]

I released 4.06-2 last night for you, which replaces the end-of-line 
sequence with the contact PHP_EOL which everyone appears to agree is the 
right answer, as that will even work on Windows.

That is the only change in 4.06-2.

Cheers,
Jules.
