    I've implemented and managed a number of GroupWise systems over the 
past 10 years, and I've not seen this issue in *modern* GroupWise. You 
didn't specify the VERSION of GroupWise, so I'll assume you have GroupWise 
v7.0.1, the latest.

    While the GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA) has some definite problems 
adhering to some of the RFCs, those affect what it *sends* more than what 
it receives. I've fronted GWIA with a sendmail/MD combination and never 
seen an issue handling multiple inlines like you say.

    I suspect that either you have a really old version of GroupWise, or 
you the real problem is the software generating the E-Mails you're 
modifying.
