so $Result was either empty or 'false'
as false converts to an empty string 

you might try this instead:

  echo ($Result===false)?"-false-":"-$Result-";

instead

Dear Jani,

> not.

That's not correct. The mail() function gives NO result back, if the
mail was sent and NO result, if the mail was not sent.

> Or what return value did you mean?
> Does it always return FALSE?

I've outputed the return value by using the following code:
$Result = mail(...)
echo "-$Result-";

The output was "--"!

Right now I have no time to compile the lastest version, I'm sorry.

On "Wed, 28 Feb 2001" you wrote to me to test the actual CVS snapshot.
On this day the problem was present in the actual CVS snapshot.

So if nobody has modified the mail() function I think the problem is
still present.

After reading a lot of other problem I think the problem is still
present.
