I suggest this code for MailBase.simple_send() (Malhost.py): import types # this belongs into the import section [.. snip, in simple_send: ..] def simple_send(self, mto, mfrom, subject, body): if type(mto)==types.ListType: body = "From: %s\nTo: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n%s" \ % (mfrom, ','.join(mto), subject, body) else: body = "From: %s\nTo: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n%s" \ % (mfrom, mto, subject, body) self._send(mfrom, mto, body) and change the documentation to accept lists and strings, because parsing a comma-separated list of true rfc-822 addresses is far more complicarted than somestring.split(',') --knitti _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
