Use the backslash ('\') character to escape newlines or better yet, turn
off line wrap in your mailer.

Be sure 'strip' is off in your list .config file and make sure the
address conforms to RFC822. Either of these are legal:

    "Chris Adams" <chris@sparkie.osl.state.or.us>
    chris@sparkie.osl.state.or.us (Chris Adams)
