Views list token not working for recipients

Sending emails to a Views list via token

I currently have a View that lists the emails of a group's members. I use this in an ECA model, as a token, to send out emails. This currently works and successfully sends mail out to each member of the group. However, these emails are only plain text, and I want to improve that, so I have installed Symphony Mailer and Easy Emails.

Steps to reproduce

I added a new Easy Email template.

I then set up an ECA model that:
- triggers on an entity insert of a specific type
- sets user to 1
- sets a token, with the values from the Views email list, called [mails]
- striptags and trim whitespace on [mails] and outputs a new token [cleanmails]
- create an Easy Email template entity
- I have tried setting the entity field value of "cc_address" here. A specific value works, but if I use the token instead it fails
(Error sending email: Email "" does not comply ...)
- Send an Easy Email, using the above entity IF I have an actual email address set. Fails otherwise.

Current Result

When I use the [cleanmails] token in the Email Template, in either To: or CC: fields, it does not render the token. It gives the same blank email error as when I set the value via the ECA model.

Using this token in the body field works absolutely perfectly and displays a list of comma separated email addresses exactly as expected.

Since the token works in the body, I know it is a valid output. Since it does not work for the recipient or cc fields, is there some extra step I am missing? I am hopeful that someone can enlighten me.

Thank you so much.

    What does the value look like when you render [cleanmails]? Is it comma-separated values or something else? It's possible we might be stripping HTML out of cc_address, so if your output has HTML that could be the issue.

    It is a comma separated list.

    The ECA log shows:

    - emails (DTO "<div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-family-member-views view-id-family_member_views view-display-id-block_28 js-view-dom-id-ae133ef6d918cc1ae0558e9cfa4451ef8e9af1a4d59994b9ab222d0012776f51"> <div class="view-content row"> <div> john@sample.com, </div> <div> teresa@sample.com, </div> <div> janet@sample.com, </div> <div> jason@sample.com, </div> </div> </div> </div> ")
- strippedemails (DTO " john@sample.com, teresa@sample.com, janet@sample.com, jason@sample.com, ")
- cleanmails (DTO "john@sample.com, teresa@sample.com, janet@sample.com, jason@sample.com,")

    Using an actual email address in the To field with the [cleanmails] token in the Body field of the email template sends this:

    john@sample.com, teresa@sample.com, janet@sample.com,
jason@sample.com,

    The cc_address field is a multi-valued string field. It expects an array of strings, with one address in each string. Is there any way to get ECA views to provide that format of data?
