Scott,

The problem, with dying in the middle of a recipient, is occurring after 
approximately 1200 characters.  In regards to the 512 character limit you 
spoke of, who enforces this?  Is this an IMail limit or a general SMTP 
limit.  We used to be able to send these messages out with our previous 
mail server (Seattle Labs SLMail) with this problem.  So, are you saying 
that the program that generates the email should be embedding "hard" 
carriage returns after every recipient (or every nth recipient)?

Thanks,
Gary
