Yeah, notice where you'll be adding various mail headers in there.  The
fourth argument in mail() is termed : additional_headers   As you now
know, 'From' is such a header.  As are 'Reply-to' 'cc' and 'bcc' ...

  "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\ncc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\nbcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I mostly agree with the web host, they can't be *expected* to answer php
syntax questions, that's why php-general exists :-)

Yeah, you'll find many more functions and "stuff" available within the
newer releases of PHP4, may as well make a request and discuss it with
them.  And see their reasonings.  Then tell them yours :-)
