No. "George Bush bush@tree" is an illegal From: line. Last time I looked,
messages tended to have only *ONE* From: address..

It should be George Bush <bush@tree>.

Even in the context of a To: line, where multiple addresses are fine,
that line is illegal. If it represents three differrent addresses,
the addresses should be seperated by commas.
