Display all recipients to each recipient
I include multiple recipients for almost all of our documents. When I send the document, however, each recipient only sees his/her own name/address in the email header. I understand the reasons for this.
About 25% of the time, one of the recipients will either email me and say "You should have also sent this to _____" or they will forward their copy of the email to another recipient (not using the PD forwarding feature; just forwarding from their email) who will then click on the link in the forwarded email. Of course, when that happens they either can't execute the agreement (if it was a CC recipient who forwarded the message to them) or their name doesn't appear in the signature field (if it was another signatory who forwarded the message to them). It creates quite a bit of confusion for my clients and quite a bit of work for me to have to explain the way PD works.
In some cases I have included an explainer in the email message, which is a little cumbersome, but it seems to work.
It would be great if the email received by any recipient included at the very top: "This message was sent to ___, _, and _____." That is, listing out all of the recipients.
