ok, ok it's mentioned in the manual, but why doesn't PHP just parse out all mail addresses?
the unix implementation doesn't parse the parameters at all, it just passes them transparently to the local MTA
.. which makes the behaviour of mail() unpredictable.
no, it's all specified in RFC822
the win32/SMTP implementation in its current doesnt pay much attention to RFC821/822 conformance. period.
anyway, the average PHP/win user will never find out about this problem :)
well, from my experience they definetly do ... :( anyway, if you have a look at the mail section of the bug database you will see that a rewrite of mail() for win32 is on my agenda, although near the bottom of it ... PS: could you please teach *your* MUA to send a single reply
    to all instead of seperate messages to the list and me,
    leading to duplicates in my inbox?
