The text area will (should!) contain a list of e-mail addresses. Knowing users, they can be entered in any possible way; comma delimited, one on each line, space delimited, etc.
I'm thinking about simply putting five text input boxes on the form and validating those. The user could resubmit the form as many times as needed. Most users will enter 1 - 5 addresses anyway.. The hard part with the text area is when someone enters something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED], user @there.here.com; user@overhere [EMAIL PROTECTED] because@you .com So, I've got all these different delimiters, including spaces, and some addresses have internal spaces, and one is simply wrong.
