This situation is completely legal and is clearly spelled out in RFC 2822
<http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html>. Getting the two addresses INTO the
"To" line automatically is a different matter, of course. The entire string
between the brackets in the following example, including the comma and
space, are considered to be part of an email address, so it is not
surprising that it didn't work.

> What I see in the To: field is something like this
> Mary Smith <"[EMAIL PROTECTED], smith_mary"@domain2.com>

This implies that one and only one message will be sent: a request to
domain2.com to deliver mail to the user "[EMAIL PROTECTED], smith_mary."

> The mapping of the user-visible Entourage representation to the actual

Entourage X has trouble with multiple addresses and incorrect Reply-To
behavior was registered as a bug to be fixed. (This relates to Reply-To
fields only; I never tried it in the address book!) I don't know if this
relates to your problem or even if the problem in X was fixed in 2004, but
the prudent thing would be to make two contacts for Mary, one with each
address, and put them into a group as David suggested.
