I was able to get it to work with a Text field by using this default formula:
eval(eval(DisplayName[Country = Value], 'concat(., substring(";", 1, string-length(.)), " ")'), "..")
Country being from the list (data connection) and Value being the Multiple Selection Listbox country. This places a semi-colon between each name associated with the selected country.
The SharePoint workflow now uses this text field to send an e-mail.
