RFC822 and friends have layed out a wonderfully flexible scheme for email headers - let's work within those bounds. I (so far) am not terribly concerned about this Undisclosed Recipients issue, but I am emphatically opposed to mangling the Subject: lines for any purpose, including a supposedly "enhanced" ability to filter incoming messages. By definition, anything on the Subject: line that isn't THE SUBJECT is inappropriate and constitutes misuse; virtually any solution would be superior to our crapping all over the Subject: lines. Please undo this damage IMMEDIATELY - being "Executive Director" is fine in general, but PLEASE do not make such a Microsoft-style unilateral "executive decision" without considering that you could do the Right Thing instead...
