If you don't put a newline at the end of the header, another header
is going to wind up on the same line, and it will break things:

From: User <user@inter.net>Subject: this is not spam

Also, if the envelope-from and/or destination address is not valid,
the mail won't go either, regardless of headers. No HTML allowed
in those, either.
