It had been correct if we had talked about standard text-files (dos vs Unix),
but we are talking about mail headers and the rfc don't allow differences
(it's another matter if the mail server does follow the rfc or not).

ereg_replace("[\r\n]", "", $_POST['email']

already replaces all \r with nothing and all \n with nothing.
