Add a space after the ':' to be kosher.

Add a Reply-To:
Add an Errors-to: (I think?)
Yeah these can help in finding out the problem, the Errors-To: header
is usually used when the original message can't be delivered, if the
server handling the message supports it will send to that header
instead of the envelope addressee. The Reply-To, is more for the
client software, iirc.

*IF* you are using PHP5 (?) and *IF* your security settings allow it,
the optional fifth argument will let you specify the "real" sender of
the message, which the responder may or may not be using to bounce to.
php4 allows the '5th' param as well, but the safe_mode paramater does
affect if you are able to use this.
