The mapping of the user-visible Entourage representation to the actual
representation for mail operations isn't exactly obvious.  How would I know
that the comma is or isn't a required address record separator in one or the
other? 

As far as I can remember, I didn't put the comma in.  I do recall messing
around to get Entourage to get both addresses to "stick" in the address
book, but I don't recall the details.

It may be coincidental, but the current problem didn't seem to show up until
after I installed Office 2004.

That said, I believe by now I've sent the same message with the comma
separator three times now, and received only one bounce, the one I
mentioned.  So maybe the problem is really in my mail server.  It seems to
be a bit flakey with outgoing mail these days...

I did remove the comma from the address book entry, and I'll try it again
that way.  I'll post if I discover anything new.

Thanks,

Henry
