    I am having the hardest time sending a simple html email. For some reason
    my "From:" header gets chopped off, so all of my email are from 'null'.
    Below is some sample code and you can see the problem yourself at:

    markrose.speedfox.net/mail.php

    sample code
    ----------------

    <?php
    $m="";
    if ($_POST){
            $m = $_POST["email"];
            echo "Your email was sent to $m<p>"; }

    /* recipients */
    $to = $m;

    /* subject */
    $subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";

    /* message */
    $message = '
    <html>
    <head>
     <title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
    <table>
     <tr>
      <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
     </tr>
     <tr>
      <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
      <td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
     </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    ';

    /* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */

    $headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>\n";
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

    /* additional headers */

    /* and now mail it */
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    echo "<p>$headers<p>";
    ?>

    <form action="mail.php" method="POST">
    <input type="Text" name="email" size="30" value="<?php echo $m;?>"><br>
    <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="send e-mail">
    </form>
