Parameters

$mail: The mail adres or addresses where the message will be send to. The formatting of this string must comply with RFC 2822. Some examples are: user@example.com user@example.com, anotheruser@example.com User <user@example.com> User <user@example.com>, Another User <anotheruser@example.com> @param $subject Subject of the email to be sent. This must not contain any newline characters, or the mail may not be sent properly. @param $message Message to be sent. Drupal will format the correct line endings for you. @param $header String to be inserted at the end of the email header. This is typically used to add extra headers (From, Cc, and Bcc). Multiple extra headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n). <em>When sending mail, the mail must contain a From header.</em>

Return value

Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise.

     ** According to RFC 2646, it's quite rude to not wrap your e-mails:

     ** "The Text/Plain media type is the lowest common denominator of
     ** Internet e-mail, with lines of no more than 997 characters (by
     ** convention usually no more than 80), and where the CRLF sequence
     ** represents a line break [MIME-IMT]."
     **
     ** CRLF === \r\n
