For example a mail like this: From: "Matthew Taylor" <Matt@seatem.com> To: "David Gilbert" <davidgilbert@ticketswitch.com>,"Pete French" <petefrench@ticketswitch.com>,"Peter Robinson" <peterrobinson@ticketswitch.com> CC: "Chris Martini" <chrismartini@ticketswitch.com>,"Jason McLaughlin" <jasonmclaughlin@ticketswitch.com> when I hit 'R' only goes to addresses like this: To: peterrobinson@ticketswitch.com Matt@seatem.com Cc: jasonmclaughlin@ticketswitch.com If, however, I edit the original to include spaces, so it looks like this: From: "Matthew Taylor" <Matt@seatem.com> To: "David Gilbert" <davidgilbert@ticketswitch.com>, "Pete French" <petefrench@ticketswitch.com>, "Peter Robinson" <peterrobinson@ticketswitch.com> CC: "Chris Martini" <chrismartini@ticketswitch.com>, "Jason McLaughlin" <jasonmclaughlin@ticketswitch.com> Then reply now works properly, like this... To: davidgilbert@ticketswitch.com peterrobinson@ticketswitch.com Matt@seatem.com Cc: chrismartini@ticketswitch.com jasonmclaughlin@ticketswitch.com The mails with ," instead of , " appear to be generated by Microsoft email software, and I have not checked to see if they are RFC compliant. But they are out there live, and are the cause of much annoyance when replying to mail. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
