E-mail addresses entered using the minimum required format (e-mail address only) will be handled as "TO" addresses (vs. CC or BC).
E-mail addresses are not case-sensitive and should be entered in all uppercase, as lowercase characters count as two characters against the 57-character maximum for the entire e-mail address format. E-mail address characters will be converted to lowercase in the outgoing e-mail message.
Each e-mail address must include an @ sign.
E-mail address fields must not contain spaces. For example, do not place a space between a first name and a last name in an e-mail address. Virtually There will not be able to transmit a message to any e-mail address that contains a space character.

The number of e-mail addresses allowed for a single e-mail command is limited to roughly 27 e-mail addresses if each address contains the maximum number of 57 characters. If each e-mail address is less than 57 characters in length, the total number of addresses allowed for a single e-mail command is increased.
Text following an action code (TO/, CC/, BC/, FR/) will be used as the Addressee Name in the outgoing e-mail message.
If text is entered following the e-mail address but not prefixed with a valid action code (TO/, CC/, BC/, FR/), such text will be considered a remark and will not be used as the Addressee Name in the e-mail message.
