Works well. Thanks for posting.

I use google contacts and found that you create a contact and enter the email string in the above format, name1,name2,name3,namen …,
on the google contacts page on a pc and it will sync and work on the iphone. It's easier than composing the list on the phone.

I've followed the line by line and still get the emails returned as undeliverable. Does this work on the MS Exchange server??

Thanks so much for this find. I'll update the article with these instructions. I've already tried it and confirmed that that “Invalid Address” dialog is indeed gone!

BTW, I found no traces of your comment from yesterday. Nothing in spam folder either.

Hmm… I see that the comment I thought I posted yesterday isn't here. The deal was that when I used the email1,email2,email3 form, something added a “>” at the end and the AOL server rejected the string. I was able to make it work with “name1,name2,name3” – and, as a bonus, the Invalid Address dialog doesn't come up.
It was way easier to compose the string on my iMac and e-mail it to myself than to compose it in Notes on the iPhone. I was able to use a whole lot of copying from Address Book to save a lot of time.
I like it!
