Re: XCmail: Sending email - multiple recipients

[Jürgen Schmitz]

Hello David,

to make it short: it looks like the resend function didn't split the
recipients correctly into the recipient box. In the old code this
splitting was done during sending, now it is done during entering the
addresses. So simply a call missing, I'll check this and if it's not too
much it will be on CVS in a few minutes.
