Guys, I posted on the bugs thing a problem I have found with 4.2 mail function.. Bug #17541. Where, to summarise if you did mail ("me@myhost.com","test","test","To: MyName <me@myhost.com>") which would normally result in a nice test mail with the To: address showing as the last part, actually comes back as me@myhost.com;MyName <me@myhost.com> - ie, duplicating the extras part. I've had to roll back to 4.1.2 (where it last worked fine) as the system Ive been writing is going company wide and I want to show them that PHP rocks, not that it has a silly bug in it.. It could of course, also have other implications. Depending on exactly why its working that way.

Windows mail() implementation needs work because it relies on SMTP client code built by PHP developer to work similarly to Unix sendmail API and it ise not easy to make it work right. While that does not happen, you may want to try this SMTP client class in PHP along with this other MIME messages composing and sending class: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
