[gui-talk] again

I can think of no reason to put addresses on separate lines.  The only
division necessary is the appropriate punctuation mark between addresses.

Now why on earth would you want to bother pressing Enter once the comma or
semicolon is in place and you're ready to type the next entry on that line? 
Is there some practical reason to type the name or address, then type a
comma or a semicolon, and then press Enter, too? Why is this all seeming so
complicated, when it's no hassle at all to do? I'm scratching my head.


Thanks.

You can press "enter" after each address, even after you hear the
correct fill-in of the nickname or address and those semi colons get
put for you. In Eudora, it is either the comma or end-of-line
character which denotes addresses in a group of addresses.
I don't really know much about other email clients; the one in
pm-mail is lessthan / greaterthan, or end-of-line ascii 12 I suppose.
