>From RFC 2822: The following table indicates limits on the number of times each field may occur in a message header as well as any special limitations on the use of those fields. An asterisk next to a value in the minimum or maximum column indicates that a special restriction appears in the Notes column. Field Min number Max number Notes ... to 0 1 cc 0 1 bcc 0 1 ... So the answere is, that it's not required to have any destinations listed in the headers of the message. It appears that it's not kosher to have an empty To: header, though I think that few MUAs will balk at this -- Jim Segrave ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
