Answer 1

Yes jeroens method doesn't show the warning messages, but does it actually solve the problem? apprehending @ just hides the warning associated with it.

To fix the problem in Mail.php modify the following

function &factory($driver, $params = array())

Change it to

static function &factory($driver, $params = array())

Reason for this error is because PEAR Mail has not been updated to PHP5 Standards and still uses PHP4 so gradually as servers become PHP5 Compliant this will become more frequent. Its better to fix rather than hide.

Hope this helps
