Let me know if you think MailMate is to blame, that is, MailMate somehow inserts the `=` characters.

Re: [MlMt] sending emails that were in excel
Tested with only 5 adresses ;-) I've copied them from Excel and paste them in BBEdit. They appear like this: a...@foo.com a...@foo.com a...@foo.com a...@foo.com a...@foo.com I would put them all in a row and separate them (with commas?)
