The same is true for "To:" and "Cc:" and yet in practice, multiple "To:" and "Cc:" fields are sometimes sent and are processed collectively by typical email software. The Postfix sendmail(1) command, when used to send email to recipients specified via the message headers (the "-t" switch) will collect recipient addresses from multiple "To:", "Cc:" and "Bcc:" headers. It may be prudent to also treat: From: <authorA> From: <authorB> as synonymous with: From: <authorA>, <authorB> the implied meaning is that the people with those email addresses, co-authored the email. -- Viktor.
