Why is it 'clearly a bug'?  The mail standard says that recipients are
separated by commas with the semi-colon being used to terminate a group
of mailboxes to be delivered to.  In that respect Evo is adhering to the
standard correctly. (See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html)

Why do you expect ';' and ',' to behave the same?

And where do colons come into it?
