Allow multiple Recipients in the send email function

Absolutely love that we now have send email, however the usability would grow if we could email multiple recipients. suggestion would be to have recipients septerated with a semi colon or comma.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority Idea that is important to be addressed.

    This is essential since there are many occiasions where it is necessary to include more parties and the need will be growing.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
