In our installation we have a need to include CC’d users on a topic.

Our sales team frequently forwards emails to our inbox which includes the forwarder but does not include the CC’d users. Now it does appear that a staged user is created unless I am mistaken.

Looking at the receiver.rb src it appears this functionality is pretty much there but doesn’t appear to be inviting the staged users as I would expect.

1. User forwards email in with [abc@defg.com](mailto:abc@defg.com) in CC.
2. If [abc@defg.com](mailto:abc@defg.com) is a user → Invite to topic
3. If [abc@defg.com](mailto:abc@defg.com) is not a user → Create staged users → Invite staged user to topic so abc gets all subsequent posts.

Is this not the intended functionality? Will I need to make a plugin for this? If a plugin is needed, is the raw email content accessible?
