I'm using the mail() function on a Linux server.

Under PHP 4.4.3, the followng code worked as expected:

$dest="webmaster@mydomain.com";
$subject="something here";
$body="contents here";
$headers = "From: fname lname <name@xxx.com\n"."To: myfname mylname
<webmaster@mydomain.com>" ;

mail($dest,$subject,$body,$headers)

The received email message contained the following headers:

To: myfname mylname <webmaster@mydomain.com>
From: fname lname <name@xxx.com
Subject: something here

Under PHP 4.4.4, the code works differently. The additional_parameters
"To:" data is concatenated to the initial "to" parameter and no longer
replaces it.

The received email message contains the following headers:

To: webmaster@mydomain.com, myfname mylname <webmaster@mydomain.com>
From: fname lname <name@domain.com
Subject: something here

What are the (new) rules for the mail() function to obtain a To: field
formatted as "fname lname <name@domain.com>"?

Is this rules change documented somewhere?

regards, Andy
