This is a limitation of the mail() command. Adresses in the form of
"Something <someone <email protected>>" are NOT support by the mail()
command.

The technical issue is that mail() does not parsing and while tlaking
to the MTA it simple puts the email addresse in '<' and '>' brackets
which will then look something like

"<Karel <karel <email protected>>>"

which of course doesn't work.

You have a two options to me knowledge:
1) trim down the $to field to the user <email protected> part and use the From:
custom header
2) Try if the imap_mail() command works for you, afaik it does email
address parsing.

Reclassifying as documentation problem for mail() on win32. The page
should also mention imap_mail().

The problem remains I installed the latest snap:
- php4-win32-latest.zip - 08-Aug-2002 03:26 5.3M

If you like I can give you ftp-access to the server.
Then you can try the mail routine yourself.

Sorry, should have said that earlier: please try a _non_ STABLE
snapshot.

I installed the snap (php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip - 08-Aug-2002 01:23
4.6M), but the problem remain.

Can you test the latest snapshot from http://snaps.php.net, this might
have been fixed.
