Right.  This should be considered a bug, but I honestly have to say that I
think fixing it is beyond the scope of 1.94.  I can probably rewrite the
address parser to be much more correct but it will end up being something
like 30 times its current size.  Not something you want to do after you've
declared beta.

Actually I recall that this is configurable... Hmmm...

>From the sendmail man page, under the -o option:

     o              If set,  this  message  may  have  old  style
                    headers.    If   not  set,  this  message  is
                    guaranteed to have new  style  headers  (that
                    is,   commas   instead   of   spaces  between
                    addresses).  If set, an adaptive algorithm is
                    used that will correctly determine the header
                    format in most cases.

Now, how do we force this to become unset, overriding the config file?
Does this even affect a change if you're supplying addresses on the command
line?

Even this is a bandaid solution, but I can't come up with anything better
at the moment.
