My user replied. Finally!

Have a look:
============

His to line was this (cut & paste for a file):
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
Which resulted in this message in the send folder:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The list above is about 313 characters long 

The resulting To: line is about 264 (lose the spaces and you're quite
close to a 2^8 limit)...
