[imp] Commas vs. Semi-Colons

[hhoffman@r-u-i.com]

Hey Rich,
  Is it just the case that one cannot store more than one name in the Contacts 
then?
ie -> Address: joe@user.com; john@user.com; harry@user.com
      Nickname: Test Group
      Fullname: Test Group
If one did this could you not then have a JavaScript routine to change the semi-
colons in the Contacts to commas in the To: ?
Thanks,
Harry
