Only if you want to send out E-mails which are invalid according to RFC2822
and therefore are likely to be rejected by the rest of the Internet.
>From RFC2822:
to = "To:" address-list CRLF
address-list = (address *("," address)) / obs-addr-list
obs-addr-list = 1*([address] [CFWS] "," [CFWS]) [address]
address = mailbox / group
mailbox = name-addr / addr-spec
name-addr = [display-name] angle-addr
angle-addr = [CFWS] "<" addr-spec ">" [CFWS] / obs-angle-addr
group = display-name ":" [mailbox-list / CFWS] ";"
[CFWS]
mailbox-list = (mailbox *("," mailbox)) / obs-mbox-list
Therefore, you cannot use a semicolon to separate a list of addresses. The
only place it is allowed is in a special syntactic construction for a named
group of addresses, e.g.
To: My Friends: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED];
