Subject: Re: limitation of the number of To: (and Cc:)
Not necessarily; the agent is free to combine all the To: addresses
into a single To: field and all the Cc: addresses into a single Cc: field.
The user agents I am familiar with do this.
The background of my question: my mail reader doesn't combile
addresses even if there are multiple To: fields. I think this is
conformant to RFC822.
Reading RFC2822, I realized that I should modify my mail reader to
combine addresses to a single To: field as you said, Ned.
I needed to know why RFC2822 made such a change before implementing
it.
Personally, I feel that this requirement of RFC2822 should have be a
"SHOULD", not a "MUST".
Or perhaps you're confusing the idea of a multiple fields with multiple
addresses? Multiple addresses in a single field are fine, multiple fields are
not.
I think I'm not confusing.
