    Solved! There was a comment on the mail() page on php.net that I found
    reference to on this archive:
    http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2005-01/0630.html

    Although I had read the comments earlier in the day, I didn't follow
    every last suggestion in all of them. I guess I just needed Alexander
    to 'push' me into them... It's not the first time you've gotten me out
    of a mess, Alexander!

    With the information that I now have, I think that I'll be able to get
    mysql cooperating with php. Thank you Todd and Paul and Alexander and
    everyone else!
