[Resolved] mail with dot in "from" header

[devinemke]

It seems that if you have a "dot" in the name in the "from" header the space following the dot is lost when the mail is sent:

<?
$mail = mail ('[e-mail]', 'test', 'test', 'from: Joe A. Blow <[e-mail]>');
if ($mail) {echo 'mail sent';} else {echo 'mail NOT sent';}
?>

When the above piece of mail arrives it is from "Joe A.Blow" instead of "Joe A. Blow". Any idea why?

put the name in quotes:

mail ('[e-mail]', 'test', 'test', 'from: "Joe A. Blow" <[e-mail]>');
