I can't send a mail with the following mail header:
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From: \"User\" <user@inter.net>\n";

Therefore $headers is set to (echo $header;)
MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 From: "User"
<user@inter.net>

The mail has not been delivered and my PHP server says:
[24-Nov-2005 00:37:19] PHP Warning: mail() [<a
href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4
Invalid Address in C:\PHP\file.php on line 132


If I use
$headers .= "From: user@inter.net\n";
instead of
$headers .= "From: \"User\" &lt;user@inter.net&gt;\n";
is works perfect.

What's wrong?
