So your code would, in this case, print out

"happyhappy at joy.com" <happyhappy at joy.com>
"you at eediot.com" <you at eediot.com>

or does it print out

"happyhappy at joy.com" <happyhappy at joy.com>
"happyhappy at joy.com" <happyhappy at joy.com>
"you at eediot.com" <you at eediot.com>

If it's the former, that's what you have told it to do.
If it's the latter, I'm not sure what the problem is, unless it has
something to do with your debug level.

HTH,
Wayne

To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called
gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness,
every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and
exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t. - Primo Levi
