I had this discussion in september at CERN and at that time, we
reached the conclusion not to implement it.  I do not remember exactly
why. I think it was the first that added this field in the first place
but specifically did not want to get it notified, unlike the CC. I
did not wrote down exactly if we planned to change that or
whatever. Or maybe it was not implemented just because it was not
needed at that time.

In my opinion, we should not have this field to be used for
notification while this is already implemented via the CC stuff. But
maybe we should automatically add in CC the originator email, when
given. 

Someone should take a look at the code and list changes needed to
perform that. If it can be done cleanly, that's probably a good
a good thing to add.
