Rich Text, Append Text, Multiple Items created: Normal?

I am trying to append a large number of values into a RichText field.

The items are being appended as separate values, so if you view the document properties, you will see the field name listed many times. The field does display properly when viewed.

Is this normal behavior for a rich text field?

My code is

Dim rt As NotesRichTextItem

Set rt = New NotesRichTextItem(messagedoc, “EmailsSentTo”)

And then inside a loop

Call rt.AppendText(recemail & ", ")

Call MessageDoc.Save(False,False)

I anticipate having a value larger then 64k, so I wanted to avoid stringing it together and then appending it.

Subject: Reason for using rich text

I’m trying to write about 8000 email addresses to a notes document. I can’t do it in plain text because it exceeds the 64k plain text limit on a document max. I am having trouble in rich text because the method I’m using is making a new rich text item, so I end up having more then the 3000 allowed fields on a documents.
