Had this code worked before?

Try this modification

<?php

if (mail('testemail@example.com', 'Test Mail', 'This is a
<b>test</b>','From: Who Dat <fromemail@example.com>'."\nContent-type:
text/html"))
print 'Sent';
else
print 'Not Sent';

?>

What struck me as a possible problem in your original code was the
'From:' sting. The format "yyy@yyy.com (yyy)" doesn't look right. The
correct way is "Name <email@address.here>"
