Not working
Authored by: bluehz on Oct 21, '02 11:50:27PM

I am able to get multiple addresses listed in the ical dropdown menu by adding multiple addresses to the Addressbook - but you can only choose one recipient from the dropdown menu in ical. Is there not a method for sending the same even to multiple recipients? I tried making the entry in Addressbook recipient1@host.com, recipient2@host.com which is standard format - but ical balked at it. After doing that when you went to the iCal info panel you could no longer modify the drop-down menu - it was greyed out.

Any ideas?

don't use spaces in your format

When you enter multiple email addresses in one AB entry, separate them with commas but NOT spaces.

e.g.: mib@bb.gov,wotan@trilateral.int,root@127.0.0.1

Also, don't put quotation marks around the entries.

I just made a new email entry in my AB, custom named it "iCal" and reentered the addresses where I wanted to be alerted (a remote IMAP, localhost, and my phone).

You'll know if iCal doesn't like your email format if it greys out the selection when you try to choose it when setting the alarm. If that happens, go back to AB, fix the format, go back to the alarm setting, and toggle the "Send email..." checkbox off and on to select the new email setting.
