3307	Implement BCC in the mail framework	James Bennett	Adrian Holovaty	"Django's built-in `send_mass_mail` is nice, but it's lacking two features which would make it even nicer (especially for folks who manage newsletters or other types of mailing lists):

 1. It can't handle multipart messages, which rules out sending HTML and plain-text versions of the same message.
 2. It doesn't do anything to hide the email addresses of the recipients, which is a no-no for newsletters.

So here's a proposal:

 1. Have `send_mass_mail` look at the `message` part of each datatuple; if the message is a list or tuple, send multipart with the first element being the plain-text and the second being the HTML.
 2. Add a new optional keyword argument -- `suppress_recipients` -- which defaults to `False` (for backwards compatibility) but, if `True`, uses only the 'first' address in `recipient_list` in the `To:` field (so the first supplied address can be a mailing-list address or other screen) and the rest will go into the `Bcc:` field."	enhancement	closed	Core (Mail)		normal	fixed	mail, bcc		Design decision needed	1	0	0	1	0	0
