JavaMail multiple recipients

[John Bailo]

I can send a JavaMail message to multiple recipients with


///
javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[] addressTo = new
javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[recipients.length];

for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
addressTo = new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(recipients);

msg.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
///

But this sends out individual emails to each recipient. How can I send
a single email with multiple recipients so that all the recipients names
appear on the To: line?

Your addressTo object is a multiple element array when the "To:" field needs to
be a single line of text, with each receipient email address concantenated to
the others with a space and a semi-colon. Just look at how it is done on your
email application on your computer, ie -- MS Outlook for example.
