When creating a new mail, if you enter multiple addresses separated by
semi-colons ";" it creates an extrange record in the Addressbook.
I thinks that it would be pissitive for the Thunderbird to accept addresses
separated by semi-colons, as thuis is the most used format in other
mail-clients, and this way it woill be aesyer for the people to move from other
to Thunderbird, as they would not need to write in a different way they have
been doing for time...
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.write addresses separated by ";"
2.click on send
3.an error message appears and a not valid record is created in the addressbook
Actual Results:
An error message appears telling that can not send a message to the address
<<>>, and a not valid record is created in the addressbook
Expected Results:
Act the same way as separating the addresses with commas ",", thats it, split
the line in multiple address lines

The semicolon has a specific use, defined in RFC822, as a group terminator.
This looks like;
groupname: addr@xx.tld, addr@yy.tld ; <- semicolon ends group
You'll see this often in the form:
Undisclosed-Recipients:;
Mozilla does not support groups well, if at all -- bug 83521, bug 110605.
