MAILTO ERRORS WHEN USING COMMAS TO SEPARATE MULTIPLE E-MAIL ADDRESSES - Aug 6th, 2010

Thanks to rcrofoot for this one: It seems that while the specification for Internet Message Formatting RFC2822, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822 says that commas are the standard, Outlook (2003, 2007) by default, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 do not recognize the comma as an e-mail address separator. (Thanks again Mr. Bill) You can follow these steps to configure Outlook to recognize the comma as a valid e-mail address separator: 1. On the Tools menu, click Options. 2. Click E-Mail Options, and then click Advanced E-Mail Options. 3. Under When sending a message, click to select the Allow comma as address separator check box. Note You can still use a semi-colon (;) to separate e-mail addresses when you click to select the Allow comma as address separator check box.
