Commas, AFAIK, are *always* bad ideas in email address headers. The
most basic rule in any of the email clients I've used over the years
has been to use a comma as a delimiter. I've run across many database
merges that failed because of embedded commas - stuff like "George
Bush, Jr." would come out as two separate fields. And this isn't just
TB doing this - placing them in quotes in the "To:" field ("Dubya, Jr"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)will get the message rejected by mail servers
for the same reason.
