Wow, that makes sense.
I don't want to display $headers I just like to send a mail. Therefore I
tried
$headers .= "From: \"User\" <user@inter.net>";
or

$headers .= "From: 'User' <user@inter.net>";
or

$headers .= "From: User <user@inter.net>";
or

$headers .= 'From: "User" <user@inter.net>';

However, no version works.

Does someone see what's still wrong?
