Matt, I am a little curious why you would suggest to not put it all into the To: field? I have written a basic mail server once before, and believe me you have confused me here. The logic behind mutliple multiple email address in a to: field or bcc: etc are duplicated and sent out by any decent mail server and as CF is not a mail server then I am very curious. Maybe I am missing something?
