I just added "evolution users" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to my contacts database and then did a Reply-All to the message and then trimmed out the To: address (Not Zed) and then copied the "evolution users" string that represented the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address in the Cc: field and pasted it into the To: field and then deleted the Cc: field and hit Send, and you are right - the addressbook is not properly resolving the "evolution users" string into [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so feeds the mailer an empty address string for the To: field. The code that checks to make sure there are valid recipients simply checks that there are EDestination structures (which there are, but the EDestination structure representing the string "evolution users" does not have an address to go with it). I think I can probably modify the mailer to be more thorough when checking that the message has recipients when you try to send (to protect against this sort of thing).
