Windows上的PHP mail（）函数使用From：标头作为MAIL FROM值

Question

It seems that when I use the code similar to:

$name = "Some Name";
$account = "account@domain.com";

$headers = "From: " . $name . " <" . $account . ">\n";

mail($sometarget, $somesubject, $somedata, $headers,
    "-f" . $account);

to send e-mails, mail() function on windows is using "From:" header value (here: "Some Name ") instead of value forced by "-f" parameter (here: "account@domain.com") effectively ignoring this parameter. This causes problems on some e-mail servers.

Any ideas how to change this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
