To have names appear in the To: and From: lines of mail clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express etc
I've used the following which worked quite well:
$to = "$toname <$toemail>";
$from = "$fromname <$fromemail>";
$subject = "Your Subject";
mail($to, "$subject", $message, "From: $from\n");
The $toname, $toemail, $fromname, $fromemail don't actually have to be variables, but since
you'll probably use variables there (defined elsewhere in your scripts), I put them in.
