Is it intentional that 'new response' e-mails sent out from the gluu support forum have all 'watchers' in the 'TO' address field. I would expect these e-mails to be BCC'd to watchers?

I don't think we really considered it.. just that we wanted "watchers" to receive alerts. Do you think it would be preferable to have watchers in bcc? Are you seeing email addresses you shouldn't see? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Well i'm seeing all the addresses of all the watchers. Whilst I don't *particularly* care myself (and in this context I happen to know all the watchers personally) I suspect that some people might not be happy with the fact they could have their addresses harvested by someone maliciously adding themself as a watcher on a post, performing an update and getting all the other watchers e-mail addresses for free, that sounds like a problem to me ?

hmm good point. I'll update the system to take that into account.
