Use PHPMailer, it is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than the native mail()
function built into PHP.
If you have a google account, you can set it up to use that as your
mail server, saving you all sorts of headaches involved with sending
mail from Windows, especially from a home machine with a dynamic IP
address and ISP's that block port 25.
