Description
Currently, when using 'Send Email to Contacts' feature - a separate email is sent to each recipient. This is necessary for emails where contact-specific tokens are used. However, in some case a user may want to simply send a single email to all recipients.
The current behavior also has the side-effect that anyone on the CC list gets multiple copies of the email if there are more than one recipient.
We can provide user's an option to send a single email to all recipients (and CC's) by exposing the default behavior as a checkbox if more than one recipient has been selected, and letting them uncheck it. Screenshot attached.
NOTE: If a single email is being sent to all recipients, then contact tokens can not be used. We'll need to add a form validation rule for this.
