Mark, You can have more than 255 characters in a To: email address. The issue is there is a bug in the filter notify action process that clips the data to 255 characters. I entered an enhancement request some time ago to remove that limit.
There is a work around. Instead of using a Notify action in the filter change to a push fields directly to the AR System Email Messages form. I can lay out the processes that I have defined using templates.

I have a field ($customer email$)that contains email addresses, and under certain conditions send out a notification to these addresses. Problem is the number if characters in the $customer email$ field can exceed 255 character limit of the User Name in the notify filter. The email addresses are separated by a semi-colon without spaces. Since the number of email address vary, I need to read each address from left to right, grab an address, send the email, and then look up the next and repeat the process. If the first email address was [EMAIL PROTECTED], I was thinking I could do a Set Field to $email number$ STRSTRC ($email customer$, ";") and a LEFT(email customer$,$email number$). The trick is to ignore the first address and grab the second address and so on. ARS 6.3 patch 20 OS: SunOS 5.9 Any ideas.
