[imp] Re: Too many recipients

[Liam Hoekenga]

We just got a report of this this morning.  A user couldn't display an 
email that contains 405 address on the "To" line, nor display any of the 
subsequent messages (I'm guessing that these people replied to all and 
now have 405 address on the Cc line).  We're talking 21k of "To" - not 
just..

     user@example.com

style addresses but,

     "User, Joseph T" <user@example.com>

formatted addresses..  gah.
