Almost correct.  Mush treats multiple headers that are similar as
one header and implicitly adds a comma:
To: dheller@cory.berkeley.edu
To: argv@sun.com

when replied to, this would generate:
    To: dheller@cory.berkeley.edu, argv@sun.com

The situation you see above is due to some other problem, I'm sure.
Not 100% sure, but pretty sure :-)  I'm not sure which version you're
using, but my current version doesn't have that problem.

for those interested, the "current" version I'm talking about is the
current version of mushview not yet available.  It will be when bart
comes back from vacation (sometime this week, I suppose).
