Issue 687: Project watchers should receive mails by cc not bcc
Status:  Accepted

We are using the project watch feature to have certain mail addresses mailed when changes are being pushed and updated on some projects (or more recently, certain branches of those projects). However there is a problem with the mails sent by this feature because they BCC the watchers instead of cc-ing them which has the following problems:
- it hides (one has to read mail headers) why they received a certain mail
- replies are not going to reach the same address (especially if the watcher is a mailing list) since nobody knows what that address is

Please make project watch mails use CC or have an option for it.

It should be an option, not everyone who watches
something wants to disclose to everyone else that
they are watching it.

So maybe this needs to be a flag on the per-user
AccountProjectWatch: delivery_type = {CC, BCC}
with the default being BCC.

Yeah that sounds right, since I mostly want it for some users (usually dummy users to support mailing lists notifications).
