Add CC: email fields

Good thought. Maybe also have the ability to set the maximum number of emails that could be cc'd in this way? My application would need less than 10 in 99% of the instances and the form is accessible only by authenticated users. Idea: if the cc function is enabled, disallow anonymous users from inputting to that field.

End of my ideas. I've looked at the module but have no clue how to modify for this.

Anyone else think this is a good function?

Any further thought or progress on the cc: idea?

Another thought about cc fields.
Instead of a long cc field with addresses separated by commas, how about building an array similarly to the way the phptemplate allows getting more fields for the primary and secondary links. A workflow somthing like this:
-- in the design phase, pick a cc field type (this could also be applied to the TO and BCC fields concept) and specify width

when the form is used:
-- one field pops up -- fill in email address, maybe also name
-- button to get another cc field, or maybe 2 or 3 at a time
-- fill those in
-- do DONE on adding emails

The module then builds a cc multiple address and sends to all.

I don't think this would be subject to being used for spamming -- too much manual input to be worth it.

If I am understanding the intent of the checkbox, I assume it would allow entering only a single CC address?
Not that I expect this to be designed around me but my need is for entering multiple addresses. If the concern is spam use, then I think two things could defeat that:
1 -- create an array of, say, 3 pairs of fields for NAME and EMAIL. Allow the ability to ask for more pairs as is done in the primary and secondary links in the phpTemplate engine.
2 -- adjacent to the submit button, use a captcha which must be entered before the input will be accepted.
