@sam previously mentioned an idea he had for handling display of users as actual email addresses in the email client for PM’s…  
… it seems relevant here:

> [@Email Notification recipients unclear when PM is sent to multiple users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/email-notification-recipients-unclear-when-pm-is-sent-to-multiple-users/26934/10):
>
> The way it is working in my mind is that Discourse would be smart enough to deal with this and simply discard the dupes, treat the dupes as simple aliases.
> 
> It is a slight departure from the way email works though cause you will not have a way to “just reply” to one of the people.
