You need to build your header and include that in your mail() call:
$lc_headers = "From: $lc_from_name <$lc_from_email>\n";
$lc_headers .= "X-Sender: <$lc_sender>\n";
$lc_headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$lc_headers .= "Return-Path: <$lc_return>\n"; // Return path for errors
$lc_headers .= "Mime-Version: 1.0\n";
mail($lc_recipient, $lc_subject, $lc_message, $lc_headers);
