Random "!" in html emails

I have a system written in PHP, running on a UNIX apache server, which generates html emails as part of its functionality.

I have found that an exclamation mark randomly appears somewhere in the email about once per 5 emails generated.

I recently noticed the same behaviour in a Perl/CGI script.

The possibilities I have considered are:
- Bug in Unix mail application when creating html emails
- Call to mail application needs its stream to be flushed first.
- Something else...?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

If you post the code, I'd be happy to look at it. Otherwise, I haven't run into that - what are you using for mail? mail, sendmail?
