RedHat 9/sendmail issue

I'm very new to Linux but I found a bug in RedHat 9 which is rather annoying to those who use Outlook XP or Outlook 2003 (only ones besides Outlook Express and web based viewers I tried which all didn't show this bug). Once you send a mail via PHP's mail() function you get two Enters everywhere you gave one.

It took a while to find out that manually updating sendmail with up2date fixed this double Enter issue. What I found odd is that rpm -q –a showed that sendmail wasn't installed before this up2date while "find / -name 'sendmail*.*' -print" found quite a few files related to sendmail. Also, before that update my test system was entirely up2date (all the packages installed).

This would fix my problem if the situation on my dedicated server was the same, but it isn't. I'm using Plesk (6.0.2) there which uses Qmail, hence I can't upgrade sendmail and I don't know what file, library or setting of sendmail's installation fixed my mail problem.
