Help!! very very WEIRD thing happening with mail() function

[Gabriel Afana]

I have a simple php script to just send email.....When I first load the
script in a browser...it sends 2 emails. Why?? The weird thing is then
when I refresh the page, it send only one email...I can refresh the page a
million times and each time it only sends 1 email. But its the first time
the page is loaded (like I open a new IE browser and go to the script), it
sends 2 emails (duplicates). The entire script is below:

<?php

$to = "so**@email.address";
$subject = "test";
$contents = "this is a test";
$from_hearder = "WEBMASTER";
mail($to, $subject, $contents, $from_header);

?>

any ideas!?!?!?!?!

if the script is copy&paste:
$from_hearder = "WEBMASTER" is not the same variable name as you use in
the mail function ... $from_header
