Sending email list in message body

Hi,
I’ve got an older form that hasn’t seen much use until this week that was used to notify a team to contact a specific set of individuals.

Basically, on the form, a user would type in a set amount of email address like below:
“EMail1” <[email protected]>, “Email2” <[email protected]>, etc

In the Mail tab, these are combined with the addresses of executives who are required to see all emails, formatted the same way so that our team can simply copy and paste the line into gmail, and the contact email message body should be generated to show the following:

“EMail1” <[email protected]>, “Email2” <[email protected]>, “Exec1” <[email protected]>, “Exec2” <[email protected]>

However, what we’re seeing is

“EMail1” <[email protected]>, “Email2” <[email protected]>, “Exec1” , “Exec2”

It appears the Contact Form 7 is pulling out the predefined email address elements from the Mail tab.

I did notice this article stating that HTML in the message body is no longer allowed, which is why I’m guessing these email addresses are being stripped.

Does anyone know of a work around? Changing the formatting would disable the ability for the team to quickly copy and paste.

Thanks
