(SNIP)

Thanks for the reply - actually the same length limitiation seems
to apply to the To:, cc:, and bcc: fields equally.  And to be more
accurate than my original posting, the mail really goes to a dummy
address and everyone's address is in the bcc so nobody sees anyone
elses address.

Perhaps I *ought* to use a listserver; however, this has worked through
5 other mailers without a hitch and I'd just like to find where the
bottleneck in balsa is so that I (or someone else) can fix it.

Thanks,
