The program invoked by the mail() function (often sendmail) is generating
an error message, which is messing up your output since the web server
thinks it is supposed to be a CGI header, but it isn't.
Temporary workaround: output some text
(e.g. <html><head><title>This is a title</title></head><body>\n")
*before* calling the mail function. You will see the error message
text in the output from your page. Then figure out what it means.
*SOMETHING* is wrong with the mail and it's saving it in a dead.letter
file because it can't deliver it.
