Ironically, iOS handles this the best. It warns that it doesn't "look"  
like a valid email address, but lets you send the email anyway - and  
it sends successfully. The other clients don't parse the group  
correctly and end up either failing completely, or sending the email,  
but only to the first email address. Go figure.

Heh. As an aside, I've found that this is rarely the case :)

That would be great, thanks.
