By entities, you're referring to < and > ?

And you mentioned you're going to get rid of them.  So are you only going to
use the email address without the Name?

Wondering as I've run into a couple uunexpected missed emails from a
newsletter system I wrote and I'm not finding errors in the logs, no
bouncebacks or much of anything..

Subject: [nycphp-talk] no longer need help with debugging mail()

Thanks for all the responses (though many suggestions
assumed--incorrectly--that I have access to the server).  It turns out that
the problem was angle brackets in the $from variable ($from="my name
<email at somewhere.xx>";), which were no problem on one site and a problem on
the other one (haven't yet figured out why).  Changing them to entities
fixed everything--but I think I'll just get rid of them anyway.
