Ah...  See, I didn't even realize that mb_send_mail was a PHP function 
until just now.

Since I don't have that extension enabled on my server, I was able to 
define the function myself.  It would be very helpful to have a generic 
wrapper for this (or wp_mail, as Ryan suggested) so that I can do 
somethng with email other than using the native mail() function.

Specifically, I use MailEnable on Windows 2003, and it's faster to use a 
MIME class to write any email as a file directly into the MTA-pickup 
directory than to wait around for SMTP to log in, send, and allow PHP 
processing to continue.  If there's anyone out there interested in this 
code (although I'm going to guess that I'm the only loser with this 
specific configuration) drop me a line off-list.
