New Comment:
Yes, and if we lived in a perfect world.. :)
btw. It might work better if you used this style:
"firstname surname" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
But as it's clearly problem with those SMTP servers,
closing this as bogus. (use that one that worked..)

Well, the SMTP server is the one I use through my ISP
(mail-bpa.bigpond.com). But because of your comments, I tried another
SMTP server (mail.virtualcreations.com.au), and it worked better, but
still not perfectly. Sending to two recipients (separated by commas)
worked fine this time, but sending to "Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" had a
problem. The SMTP server sent the message, but it bounced, with the
following reason:
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 <"Mark <mvirtue"@zip.com.au>... User
unknown
(but that is a perfectly valid address, of course).
Then I tried a THIRD SMTP server (smtp.zipworld.com.au), and everything
worked perfectly.
So, clearly all SMTP servers are different, but I would hope that the
Win32 version of the mail() sending function would work with as many as
possible of them.
I reiterate what I said before: Before version 4.3.0, this worked
perfectly, and I've never had any problems with the Linux version.
Mark.

so your SMTP server doesn't accept this syntax. What kind of SMTP
server is that?
Is there any way you can capture what php is sending out to the server?

Thanks for the suggestion. I put the error reporting code in, and now
have more information to share:
When I tried:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]", "My Subject", "Line 1")
I got the response:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501
unacceptable characters in local-part in index.php on line 5
I think the "unacceptable characters" refers to the space after the
comma and before the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Then I tried:
mail("Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", "My Subject", "Line 1")
and got the response:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 illegal
address syntax in index.php on line 5
But this same line of code works fine in Linux, and used to work fine
in Win32 4.2.3
Mark.

These work just fine for me. Do you get any error messages?
(put error_reporting(E_ALL); into your script)

Thanks for the reply, but that made no difference whatsoever.
(installed the Win32 version, and restarted Apache. It definitely
installed correctly because phpinfo() showed version 4.3.2-dev)
