Don't use the mail function in php, it's terrible and if not used
correctly open to abuse by spammers, and you also have to go through all
the hassle of setting up headers and stuff.

I use phpmailer, easy to use and creates the headers for you:

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->Mailer = "smtp";

$mail->From = $fromemail;
$mail->FromName = $fromname;

$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AddAddress($toemailadddress);

$mail->Body = $messagehtml;
$mail->AltBody = $messagetext;

$mail->Send();
