I have recently come upon occurances of SMTP mail gateways producing messages with more than one "To:" or "Cc:" field. Can anyone point me to references to discussions of this behavior? This behavior is explicitly allowed in RFC 822. On page 16 in section 4.1 it states: This specification permits multiple occurrences of most fields. Except as noted, their interpretation is not specified here, and their use is discouraged. There are no further notes relative to multiple occurances of "To" or "Cc" header lines that I can find. Thanks, Walt
