Daniel,
That is correct, what your user wants cannot be done. TO: is _always_ an
email address, by definition. And if you try what you suggested, in the
user.lst file, then no one after the first address will get email from the
list! File formats are fixed and if the file has 'incorrect' characters,
will not function properly.
Some email clients appear to put the users name into the TO: field, but they
really are not. The can put something like: "Daniel Donnelly"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and only show the part in "", but the part in <> is the part needed to
deliver the email!

Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail List Question
I'm trying to implement an IMail List. The problem that I'm running into is
that the client for whom I'm doing this wants the TO: line to contain the
name of the recipient rather than the e-mail address. Since the USERS.LST
file only accepts an e-mail address, I don't see where the name would be
stored unless you could do something like .... [EMAIL PROTECTED] <FirstName
LastName>
I've searched the knowledge base and the manual, but as far as I can tell,
IMail doesn't provide this functionality. Is this correct?
