Subject: [exim] Newline-separated lists
I'd like to suggest a modification of string_nextinlist() to make it possible
to use certain control characters as list separators (as you probably know, a
less-than followed by any punctuation characters in the beginning of most
lists tell Exim that said punctuation character is the list separator).

The simplest syntax would be if "<n" meant that newline (\n) is the separator
and "<t" meant tab (\t). "<s" for space might also be useful (or simply "< ",
which doesn't work today since space isn't considered a punctuation
character). Would this be likely to break existing configurations?
