Subject: [sup-talk] sup concatenating many email addresses

Message-ID: <1184196401-sup-4306@mona> (raw)

some mail bounced, and when i went back to look in ~/.sup/sent.mbox, i found
messages with "to:" lines like this:

this had looked just fine in the reply-mode buffer when i sent it, with each
email address on a separate line and a comma after each but the last.

the problem seems to be traced back to these lines in ~/.sup/people.txt:

mutei at aol.com: 1184195526 mutei doug murphy
chunyuanlee at yahoo.com: 1184195526 mutei doug murphy <mutei at aol.com>nate butler <n8butler at yahoo.com>Jan & Michael Prenger <jmprenger1 at comcast.net>John and/or Martha Seay <mseay at comcast.net>erichj.kuhn <erichj.kuhn at gmail.com>Robert Williams <williams.rm at comcast.net>chunyuanlee
mutei at aol.comn8butler@yahoo.comjmprenger1 at comcast.netmseay@comcast.neterichj.kuhn at gmail.comwilliams.rm@comcast.netchunyuanlee at yahoo.com: 1184195526 mutei
"mutei at aol.comn8butler@yahoo.comjmprenger1 at comcast.netmseay@comcast.neterichj.kuhn at gmail.comwilliams.rm@comcast.netchunyuanlee"@yahoo.com: 1184195679 mutei doug murphy nate butler Jan & Michael Prenger John and/or Martha Seay erichj.kuhn Robert Williams chunyuanlee

sup seems to be trying to do something clever but coming up with
progressively worse results.  there are a couple of other lines in
people.txt which have oddly-run-together addresses, and i can't trust sup to
send email where it says it's sending it at the moment.  :-\

thanks,
