This patch fixes a problem of mail missing addresses when replying
to emails generated by some Microsoft systems, which do not insert a
space after the comma in lists of addresses. Was filed as PR bin/131861
If anyone who still uses /usr/bin/mail as their primarly email client
could test it then I would be grateful (would also be garetful if
someone could volunteer to commit it shold it prove to work fine :-) )
