Hello,
I receive template letters (a letter model with the recipients' addresses, to forward them all over the world.... (it's for a good cause....), however the recipients on the templates I receive are always separated by semicolons, but when I forward them by replacing my own details instead of the person who prepared the letter, my MAIL messaging on my MacBook Air does not allow these letters to go through because of the ; so I have to patiently replace the semicolon with a comma one by one! (it's very long, very tedious, I can't take it anymore...), I sometimes miss some when there are a lot of recipients, so everything has to be double-checked.... I still haven't found how to set up my messaging so that I can replace the original ; with a , all at once or set it up so that it goes through despite the ; simply.... I'm sorry, I really need your advice and insights.... and I thank you in advance
Configuration: Mac OS X (10.10.3) / Safari 8.0.5

Hello
I suggest you try this:
- select all the email addresses of the recipients
- copy (Cmd - C)
- open the TextEdit application
- paste (Cmd - V)
- open the menu "Edit -> Find -> Find and Replace ..."
- in the Find box, type the famous ;
- in the Replace box, type your ,
- at that precise moment, TextEdit should highlight all the ; it will replace
- if you are OK with what TextEdit is going to do, click on "All"
- select again all the addresses modified by TextEdit
- copy (Cmd - C)
- go back to Mail
- paste (Cmd - V)
