# This patch addresses the issue of using mimemail under PHP for Windows
#
# Background: In certain cases the Mimemail module constructs email addresses
# with the format : "Name" <address@domain.com>.  Unfortunately, the Windows 
# version of PHP cannot handle this format and causes errors.  This patch 
# allows an administrator to turn on a mimemail_simple_address variable
# that ensures that Mimemail always uses the simple form of email address
# i.e. address@domain.com.
