Thanks, I agree that 2. (the lack of suppression) is a showstopper.
I'd further say that these new CC-sources should be disabled by
default and made opt-in to avoid surprising existing users.

One thing we also need to be very careful about is that some of the
fields may not even have an e-mail address.  We can expect that
S-o-b and Cc would be of form "human readable name <email@addre.ss>"
by their nature, but it is perfectly fine to write only human
readable name without address on random lines like "suggeted-by" and
"helped-by".  There needs a way for the end-user to avoid using data
found on such lines as if they are valid e-mail addresses.
