Problem with 'reply' in /usr/bin/mail

Just revently I have been having some problems using 'mail' - unfortunately
I dont know if it predates my upgrade to 7.0 or not, but basically the
symptom is that when doing a simple reply to mail sent from some
windows machines it only replies to the send and the last person in
the 'To' line rather than to all of them.

Extremely annoying - but I am nto sure if mail has chnaged or if the
Microsoft users have changed their systems to addresse are slightly
sifferent:

Anyway, the email lines look like this:

#From: "Jane Drakesmith" <JaneDrakesmith at ticketswitch.com>
#To: "Emma Farmer" <EmmaFarmer at ticketswitch.com>,"Robin Allen" <robinallen at ticketswitch.com>,"Adam Stott Everett" <AdamStottEverett at ticketswitch.com>,"Phil Wright" <PhilWright at ticketswitch.com>,"Jason McLaughlin" <jasonmclaughlin at ticketswitch.com>,"Pete French" <petefrench at ticketswitch.com>,"Michelle Hurst" <micheleh at ticketswitch.com>,"Jon Dalladay" <JonD at ticketswitch.com>,"Jac Evans" <Jac at ticketswitch.com>
#Subject: RE: Christmas opening times


If I hit 'r' then I get:

#To: Jac at ticketswitch.com JaneDrakesmith at ticketswitch.com
#Subject: RE: Christmas opening times

All the previous people in the 'To:' line are missed out. Does anyone else
see this ? I am sure it didn't used to behave this way....
