Django's built-in `send_mass_mail` is nice, but it's lacking two features
which would make it even nicer (especially for folks who manage
newsletters or other types of mailing lists):
1. It can't handle multipart messages, which rules out sending HTML and
plain-text versions of the same message.
2. It doesn't do anything to hide the email addresses of the recipients,
which is a no-no for newsletters.
So here's a proposal:
1. Have `send_mass_mail` look at the `message` part of each datatuple; if
the message is a list or tuple, send multipart with the first element
being the plain-text and the second being the HTML.
2. Add a new optional keyword argument -- `suppress_recipients` -- which
defaults to `False` (for backwards compatibility) but, if `True`, uses
only the 'first' address in `recipient_list` in the `To:` field (so the
first supplied address can be a mailing-list address or other screen) and
the rest will go into the `Bcc:` field.
