I've had a request to have a webform send a mail to multiple recipients as a single mail, not independently, where everyone receiving the mail can see everyone else it's being mailed to. In this instance, it's not a secret who it's going to, they just want to be able to click "reply all" to communicate that the form has been acted on.

I can definitely see why individual mails are the default, but is there an easy way to work around this?

No, there isn't an easy way around this at all. In fact I'm not even sure it's possible to define multiple e-mails and prevent Webform from sending the individual e-mails even if you could find a way to mass-mail a single e-mail all at once.

The only suitable solution I might suggest is setting up a mailing group in whatever you use for your e-mail provider (if possible) and set that user to be the "From" and "To" e-mail address. Then replying to the e-mail would send it to everyone on that list. I know it's not an easy solution, but I think that the way Webform functions is going to be suitable for most sites and adding an option for CC'ing instead of individual e-mails isn't very likely.

Yup, mailing lists sound like the way to go. Thanks quicksketch!
