Work in progress patch to remove grouping of emails

The attached patch is very rough and untested but would give us the ability to not group emails and instead try to send with as many recipients as possible.  It's unclear if this would introduce a problem for some mail servers/clients but any feedback from a test environment would be greatly appreciated.

The above patch should apply to 5.6+ version of cfme.

Comment 15 Sachin 2016-11-29 10:02:11 UTC
Let me test the patch on my end and provide feedback

Comment 16 Dave Johnson 2016-12-06 19:19:54 UTC
Reducing severity, it doesn;t fit urgent criteria and there is a workaround... use a mailing list.

Comment 17 Sachin 2016-12-14 09:39:38 UTC
Dave,

I idea of using a mailing list is not feasible for CU as the group may have few people in some case. It is not possible for them to create mailing list involving few number of people.

@Jiri: Any idea about testing of this patch? I can manually patch this in CU environment provided this does not effect other functionality within cloudforms.
