[thelist] PHP mail headers

[// kerin | airside.co.uk]

well, i managed to fix it, but I have absolutely no idea why it works.

I changed this:

$headers ="From: mailinglist at pauloakenfold.com\r\nReply-To: 
mailinglist at pauloakenfold.com\r\nTo: '".$firstname." ".$secondname." 
'<".$email.">";

To this:

$headers = "";
$headers ="From: mailinglist at pauloakenfold.com\r\nReply-To: 
mailinglist at pauloakenfold.com\r\nTo: '".$firstname." ".$secondname." 
'<".$email.">";


That makes no sense.
