[Users] Unintended addresses

[Abrolag]

I think I've now worked out the sequence of events for this occasion.

I am a developer for a rather complex piece of audio software, and was about to
notify the users list of an update. However, having just opened the compose
window I saw two emails had arrived, one from a user congratulating us on
another improvement, and one from the developer who did most of the work on it.

I immediately started to write to pass the message on, forgetting that it had
been opened from the mail list window. Typed in the address (which I know so
well it's much faster than using the address book) and sent it off, then
returned my attention to the list.

Checking back through my mail history *every* occasion when this has happened
I've been writing to one of the other developers, so it's very likely the same
or similar situation. Quite frankly I see no possibility of preventing that
from happening *unless* I can get a warning that I'm sending to two recipients.

As I said before I still use a number or newsgroups too (all technically
orientated) and such a warning would be a great help preventing propagation of
cross-posts.

Now if nobody at Claws thinks this is of any importance the obvious solution
would be for me to switch to another mail program. However, this presents me
with a dilemma. I have many years worth of stored emails so although not exactly
locked in, the idea of switching is far from attractive.
