=====================
I also find that the "real name" <email> pattern doesn't work well in all
cases, especially in the To: address.
=====================

Especially on Windows servers.

See http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

Note: The Windows implementation of mail() differs in many ways from the
Unix implementation. First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing
messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a MTA is needed
listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a remote
machine). 

Second, the custom headers like From:, Cc:, Bcc: and Date: are not
interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed by PHP. 

As such, the to parameter should not be an address in the form of "Something
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". The mail command may not parse this properly while
talking with the MTA.
