standard HPDesk conventions for recipient categories.  These fields are
used to describe the complete distribution list for a message.

each message; HPDesk will attempt to deliver to all the names.

The string constant or item can specify an HPDesk name/address or a
distribution list.  With distribution lists, the Public Distribution
Lists in the Filing Cabinet are searched first, then the List Area of the
sender is searched.  Names/ addresses must be in the following HPDesk
format.
