Formatting for Addresses Delimited by Semicolons

Multivalued fields that are delimited by semicolons such as X.400 addresses, distribution list members, or e-mail addresses must follow these formatting conventions:

• The entire distribution list membership field must be within double quotation marks (").
• The e-mail address mini-field that contains semi-colons must be quoted.
• All quotation marks that are part of the field entry must themselves be quoted.

For example, use the following for X.400 addresses:

dl,Friends,\\
"SMTP:mariab@litware.com;""X400:C=US;A= ;P=NWTraders;G=Pat;S=Parkes"""\\
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

To avoid the formatting rules with semicolons, you should specify X.400 addresses by using " / " as shown in the following example:

dl,Friends,\\
SMTP:mariab@litware.com;X400:/C=US/A= /P=NWTraders/G=Pat/S=Parkes\\
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
