Sending to multiple email addresses not working

Support
1

Good day.
I noticed since the upgrade to 1.6.3, sending to multiple email addresses at the same time no longer works. The mail addresses were always just separated by a ‘comma’. I am now getting a “The To Email field must contain a valid email address” error message when trying to do it the same way.
Thanks

I have never used GitHub, so I think it best I just describe the issue here. I was running on 1.6.1 and simply did an upgrade to 1.6.3. Before the upgrade I was able to send an invoice to multiple email address’s (in some cases I used up to 4) simply by comma separating the address’s. Since the upgrade it is no longer possible. I had to send the emails multiple times to get the invoice delivered to all the required recipients.
Thank you.
