Which delimiter for e-mails with multiple recipients?
Question by LollyPop | Last update on 2024-02-26 | Created on 2012-08-17
I would like to send an email to multiple recipients. But how can I do that correctly?
How should I write the list of email addresses and what separator do I need to use between the e-mails? I do not want to write an individual mail to each one, but do it all within only one single message.

As a separator, you can use a comma or a semicolon. So, the characters , or ; with a space after them.
It depends on the email client you are using whether you have to take a comma or a semicolon. Indeed, most software and web applications support both possibilities.
Therefore, for example:
Or just the semicolon instead of the comma.

However, you should not write all addresses into the "Receiver" field (To) but write them into the "BCC" field instead.
Regarding this, you can check out my post here:
There, I explain, why this is not a good idea. However, if you are only writing to two or three friends of yours which are knowing each other anyway, you can also write everything in the box for the recipient.
And back to your question: I also know it with both, commas or semicolons - it should both work.
