→Semicolon-separated address lists
Microsoft's mail handlers have both accepted and encouraged the use of semicolon-separated address lists, in direct contradiction of RFC 2822. While Mozilla's support for the accepted use of the semicolon (named address groups) is lacking, that usage is not at all widespread. On the other hand, there are plenty of mailto: links in the wild which specify a list of addresses separated with semicolon, and messages that arrive from Outlook users with address lists separated by semicolons; Mozilla's behavior with these is clearly broken.
<s>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242693 Bug 242693]</s>: Smarter handling of a typed-in semicolon-separated address list. While we would prefer users not enter semicolons at all, the list is not flagged as erroroneous and TB attempts to send, but misparses the list badly, resulting in errors when sending.
<s>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210521 Bug 210521]</s>: Smarter handling of semicolon-separated address lists using Reply All. In this case, the address list is grossly misparsed, filling in the address fields on the CC: list of the new message with a long, illegal string. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258653 Bug 258653]: Smarter handling of semicolon-separated address lists in a mailto: link. Similar results to the above bug.
