When one puts an email address in this format:
mailto:[email protected], as everyone usu. knows, when a person
clicks on that link, a new compose window opens up and the addressee is
automaticlaly dumped into the TO box.

Is there a way to put a link like this but with the address of more than one
person? I tried:
mailto:[email protected],[email protected], and
<mailto:[email protected], (e-mail address removed)>
but one address seems to always get bumped off.

Thanks. :oD
 
Do you have the option checked to allow commas as address separators?

I didn't think to check, thanks. I never knew where to set that as at home,
where I usu. use commas in this way, the default is selected. When I went
looking here, I found that this option is _not_ checked (under TOOLS >
OPTIONS > EMAIL OPTIONS > ADVANCED EMAIL OPTIONS button > tick "Allow comma
as address separator"). Weird. I'll remember this for future, though.

<vbg> Thank you so much, that works perfectly now! I put a recurring
reminder in my calendar to send an email to various people once a week and
the link now works! <g>

Cheers! :oD

Great news, glad it works now. However, you might want to use a task to do
this since calendar viewing space can be limited.
