Description

It's very useful to be able to put nextcloud groups in the recipients fields.

It would be great to have kind of a warning when nextcloud groups are put in the 'To:' or 'CC' field.

It might seem logical but it's not visible that all mails are listed.

We just had an incident where a big group of people received an e-mail with visible adresses.

Thanks for the great work!!

Research direction

The issue identifies the To and CC recipient fields but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how Nextcloud groups are handled in those fields, then define and test the warning behavior for each; done means users are warned before group addresses can be exposed.
