I have come to a similar conclusion. I also concluded that the dropdown
list on the client should only contain keys to email addresses, so that
the actual addresses are never exposed to the client. I wrote a Perl
script to implement this, if you are interested. (I'm planning on
re-doing my site this week, so I don't want to give the address out
right now since it might be broken for a while, but email me if
interested.)
