If I just have john and tap To, it finds John Smith and allows me to select.
Box To now has John Smith and underlined it to show it's a contact -> John Smith

I type Space (as the contact-per-line doesn't seem to be the way), then mary then tap To, it found nothing, noticed John Smith is now part of the search -> 'John Smith mary' as John Smith is no longer underlined to show it's a contact

A little bit hard to explain, but if you try it you'll see what I mean.

My current workaround is to tap To and get a full list of contacts then manually select each one that way, very time consuming.
@Venomrush,
there is a simple way to do this that I found out in S60 and seem to work fine here too:

1) Hit the 'To' button to bring up a list of contacts.
2) start typing to filter list for first contact
3) select contact to create a tick and include in list
4) DELETE the text you typed and start typing the SECOND contact
5) select the SECOND contact to show a tick next to them as well
6) continue adding contacts until done then return to main screen as before.

Hope that helps - bit odd until you think about it and then it makes sense! (Either that or I've lost more than I thought on the sanity scale!)
