In order to fix this bug I plan on doing the following: 1) Making a new Debbugs::Mail package which contains the code to actually send messages via sendmail. I'm plan on moving the outgoing mail specific functions there as well from errorlib.
2) Have the new send_mail_message function first try to send to all recipients, then, if that fails, attempt to send the message to each recipient separately. If that still fails, either note that fact in the html record (not sure if that's a good idea) or just warn and continue on. As far as #1 goes, while I think it should be in a separate module, I'm open to being convinced that some other location besides a new one is ideal. As far as #2 goes, writing an html record for an error condition in sending the message seems suboptimal to me; however we do do that for things like missing subjects... so it's not unprecedented. I'd almost vote for just dumping the error to STDERR and continuing on. Anyway, let me know if that sounds reasonable. Don Armstrong -- America was far better suited to be the World's Movie Star.
