I love our users: I went over two bugs, one in Thunderbird where the user was trying to drag 5k contacts to the "To" field of a new email and the other in Firefox with the user trying to upload 100k files in one go to GDrive.

While these are extreme cases they should work. If we can handle them gracefully we can handle anything, so we should strive to make these cases work.

@gabrielesvelto I would not want to be on the receiving end of an email chain with 5K "to" users. Even if only 0.1% of people reply-all there will be a massive flood of messages, lol.

By all means fix the bug, but please try to convince said user to use BCC :)

@azonenberg there's a fine line between a scaling issue and a DDOS attack ;-)

@gabrielesvelto I would argue there is no line, and the distinction is purely one of malicious vs innocent intent.

@azonenberg @gabrielesvelto so it’s ok with 5k recipients as long as you don’t know?

@Hovedorganet With BCC, they don't see your email (so if they reply-all the other 4999 people don't get it).
