I have thought of adding a "MailTo" in the email that would have the list of contacts that I could build from, but that only lists groups that the recipient is part of. I have also thought of writing something like nan, that would gather notifications and send every say 10-15 seconds anything that is older then say 20 seconds, and group the email by body and subject, and lump the contacts into the Cc field...
