Send mail to all members of a team generates comma sep list - how to generate a semicolon sep list
RTC 3.0.1
Every so often I need to send email to a long list of users, all members of a project. I can select them all in the project area and click "Send mail ..." and it opens a new email in outlook with a list of everybody's email address - comma separated.
Outlook likes users email to be separated by semicolons. (I can obviously run it through a text editor, but ..)
Is there a setting somewhere where that can be tweaked?
I googled and searched and haven't found it

One answer
Martina,
one possible solution is to use http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/analyzing-a-aroject-areas-members-and-roles-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/ and just dump the users e-mail addresses into a file - any format you want. You could use that to compose your e-mail or batches of e-mails.
I can't say why Outlook has issues. My machine comes up with Thunderbird (no idea why, since I have Lotus Notes installed) and that seems to work fine.
You could consider writing a PMR or defect. But that won't help you with the Outlook limitation for a big number of users. So I would consider to rather request the capability to get the users e-mail addresses in a file, or be able to compose the mail directly (in the web UI).
