Hello,

For MH-E, I'm looking for code already available in Emacs to do
completing-read for multiple comma-separated items.  e.g.

To: p.gal[TAB]
->
To: p.galbraith
->
To: p.galbraith, psg[TAB]
->
To: p.galbraith, psg@home

Does anyone now of such code already existing?

There's multi-prompt.el bundled with AUC-TeX that comes close (doesn't
allow whitespace after the field separator), but I need something I can
use in MH-E without external packages.

Thanks,
--
