More Useful CC: field

[Graham Booker <gbooker@…>]

I know these items have been mentioned before, and I will link to the relevant items. What I am suggesting is a bit of a combination of #2073, #1459, and #153.

We recently moved a project off of ​sourceforge and started moving tracker items as well. We would like some of the same functionality that their trackers provided. Several things need to change to provide this functionality:

• On sourceforge, you could configure the tracker to send out email to a particular address when a ticket is created, and created only, just like #2073 suggests.
• Sourceforge has the ability to let a user "monitor" a ticket for changes. The user has the ability add themselves to the monitor and only allowed to delete themselves, much like #1459. Furthermore, this "monitor" action does not send out email messages about the ticket being changed. It is essentially an 'invisible' change, like #2200 suggested. When I was doing searches for these tickets, I ran across #11 which demonstrates this better than anything because it is hard to see actual changes towards the end among the CC: field changes.
• Lastly, I think that email address masking like #153 is sorely needed. The last things users need is spam bots picking up their email addresses because they were interested in changes to a ticket.

Anyway, I hope you seriously consider these changes. Thanks for the great work on Trac and I look forward to future versions.
