Well, you provided an example where multiple entries could make sense.
In the TO line, I may want to put multiple addresses. I'm sure you
can think of examples where this is desirable (since not all of you
mail is for setting up lunch dates). ;-)
So by default, the To macro will only *add* to the existing TO line.
But there are occasions where you want the recipient to be defined
*only* by the template. Then you use %To="" to clear the line, and
%To="address" adds to an empty line.
The same logic applies to the %CC and %BCC macros as well.
But for the From line, what do multiple senders mean? How can two
addresses send a single message? It does not make much sense. I
don't know the RFCs on this issue (I admit, I haven't read them <sob>)
but it doesn't seem like a logical behaviour.
So that was changed in version 1.42.
