Bill and group,

> Did you get a solution to the multiple To: recipient issue ?

The last solution I came up with is as follows :

   If there is more than one 'To:', then make one of them as a 'To:',
   and make the rest as a 'Cc:'. That way everyone gets the message
   delivered to them. That was my focus at the time, making sure each
   user received the message.

This solution does work (see header of an actual message below) :

   Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2010 21:15:20 CST
   Message-Id: <m6k0cx0lbu6y at ve4pkt.bbs>
   From: SYSTEM%ve4pkt.bbs at winnipeg.ampr.org
   To: VE3VAI
   Cc: VE6APP, VE5MU, VE4SEA, VE4PKT, VE4KLM, VE3ZXP, VE3ZUA, VE3ZKB,
     VE3WYE, VE3WWT, VE3WBZ, VE3VY, VE3VVS, VE3VMJ, VE3VGI, VE3VBA
   Subject: //WL2K User Notice
   X-BBS-Msg-Type: E
   X-JNOS-User-Port: Uplink   (VE4PKT-10 on port rms)  -> Sending message

BUT of course it does not convey who the *important* people are, although 
I did add code to log any 'To:' converted to 'Cc:' in the JNOS log, ie :

   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE3ZKB] CC'd instead
   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE3ZUA] CC'd instead
   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE3ZXP] CC'd instead
   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE4KLM] CC'd instead
   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE4PKT] CC'd instead
   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE4SEA] CC'd instead
   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE5MU] CC'd instead
   21:15:20  - main recipient [VE6APP] CC'd instead

It requires a bit of redesign and coding to do it properly, and at
the time I did not want to mess with it. It's on my list of todos.

Please explain, I don't understand.
