I think this kind of E-Mail should be send anonymously as Bcc or recipient by recipient.

Re: Reply to topic: all recipients are shown in the "To:" line

Yes, you are right. Using "Undisclosed recipients" and then BCC:ing it to everyone is probably a better idea. There is the issue with certain anti spam software that doesn't like that approach though. Oh well, we'll see. I'll put it on the TODO list :)

Re: Reply to topic: all recipients are shown in the "To:" line

This has been fixed in 1.1. It doesn't use "Undisclosed recipients" as I mentioned before. One e-mail is sent out to every subscriber. It's a bit heavier on the server (not much), but it isn't affected as much by anti-spam software.
