Who else got this email
Every discussion notification carries a Carbon Copy line naming the other recipients, so nobody answers a thread not knowing who is already on it.
Display Recipients in Email (technical name viin_mail_show_recipient) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for salesperson, support agent, project manager, customer.
At a Glance
The facts of Display Recipients in Email, version 0.1.0, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
One change, in the place it matters.
The notification says who it went to
The block sits above the message body, in the standard notification layout, and lists the recipients of that send.
The thread is untouched
Posting works exactly as before - followers, recipients and subtypes are Odoo's. Only the outgoing email says more.
What You Get

Lists the formatted addresses the message actually went to
Only for discussion messages - internal notes stay unchanged
Works on every model with a chatter: orders, invoices, tickets, projects
No configuration, no new menu, nothing to maintain
Recipients are unchanged; only the visible layout is

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
Odoo still sends one email per recipient; this names them in the body rather than changing the envelope.
By design - the ambiguity this fixes belongs to discussion messages.
There is no per-model switch; the layout applies wherever the notification layout does.
Followers and recipients are decided by Odoo exactly as before.
