5 seems excessive to me.  For me, by far the most frequent number of
recipients for an email is 1.  So, with the blank at the end, that's
2.  Having room for 5 would be like building a 5-lane highway to
service a town of 2,000 people.

I would like to see that area automatically grow and shrink to fit the
number items. No scroll bar ever; just calculate the height of all the
fields and set the height of the container to that (plus padding or
whatever is needed).
