Issue solved. A former co-worker sent the following to me off-list:
4 In the User Name field, enter the name of the users or groups to notify. You can enter a maximum of 255 characters. Use the User Name list to insert fields or keywords. Click the text edit button to open a Text dialog box for easier data entry. 74 Chapter 4-Specifying workflow actions BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.0 To specify one or more recipients, enter any of the following choices separated by hard returns (the server evaluates each line separately): AR System user logins AR System groups This option enables you to send notifications to all members of a group simultaneously. When you include a group in a notification, you are not notifying the group itself but rather the individuals in the group. The group name expands the notification to each individual. Do not put the group name in dollar signs ($) or in quotation marks. Do not use group notifications as an email system for broadcast items because the server processes a notification for each member. An email alias is more efficient.

Basically, I have a filter that does an email notification. In the User Name: field, I have $Originator$; $data_Alt Approval Manager$; $data_Approval Manager$; $data_Purchaser$ This gets translated to the users that are in the field just fine, but it's not looking up their email addresses from the user form, It's just trying to send the email to the literal value that is in that field. For instance, if Bob.Smith is in data_Alt Approval Manager, then it is trying to send an email to Bob.Smith instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED], which would be in his user account. Any suggestions? Am I using the wrong delimiter?

On the Recipient line, I'm specifying a mix of field values and groups. I currently have the recipient set as: $Originator$; Finance; Contracts; $data_Purchaser$ Originator and data_Purchaser fields, Finance and Contracts are groups. I want the email to go out to the Originator, the data_Purchaser, and everyone in contracts and finance. I'm having a few issues that I'm not yet sure from where they are coming. I just wanted to make sure I had this part of it correct first. Any comments?
