#23243: wp_mail() not working with "Name <email>" format in buggy PHP versions on
Windows

As a result of ticket #17305, wp_mail() accepts the $to parameter in the
format "Name <email at domain.com>".
There exists a PHP bug in versions below 5.2.11 and in 5.3, on Windows.
This bug occurs when addresses are passed to the PHP mail() function in
the "Name <email>" format and prevents e-mails from being sent. I believe
this bug in fixed in 5.3.1 and above. (see
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28038)
I don't believe this affects any core functionality, but may affect some
plugins which pass $to in the above format.
I tested in PHP 5.2.4 on Windows with the following code:
{{{
wp_mail("email at ext.com", "Test", "Test");
wp_mail("Name <email at ext.com>", "Test 2", "Test 2");
}}}
The first email is received; the second isn't. When removing error
suppression from the mail() calls in class-phpmailer.php, the following
warning is outputted:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 <Name
<email at ext.com>>: "@" or "." expected after "Name" in C:\xampplite\htdocs
\wp-includes\class-phpmailer.php on line 771
