Or what if Fred sends mail to George and Barney; George wants

Barneys is the one that got the original message?

John hit the core of the problem, and it is one that the multiple root
advocates continually miss. Anyone who believes this isn't a problem
should ask their attorney about confidentiality rights if due to
ambiguity the wrong Barney gets a private message and he discloses it
publicly. The only way George can know which Barney was included by Fred
is to share a single common reference. Believing there is some out of
band mystical ability to sort out intent from a list is naive at best.
