      `dnf-automatic` can send emails to multiple recipients with default `/usr/bin/mail`::
      Before this update, if the `dnf-automatic` utility used the `command_email` emitter to send emails to multiple recipients and also used the `/usr/bin/mail` utility installed with the `s-nail` package, `/usr/bin/mail` failed to send an email. With this update, the `dnf-automatic` utility expands the `email_to` keyword in the `command_format` formatting string from a single argument to multiple arguments. As a result, `dnf-automatic` sends emails to multiple recipients with the default `/usr/bin/mail` utility.

      dnf-automatic fails to send e-mail notifications for multiple recipients if `command_email` emitter is used. The cause is that /usr/bin/mail of s-nail expects each recipient as a separate argument.

      This is a request to restore compatibility (relative to RHEL 8) with the default /usr/bin/mail provider in RHEL 9.
