Allow multiple 'send to' email addresses in contact form  en

It would be really useful to enable contact forms to send to different email addresses chosen from a list. For example, my organization has different departments.

Currently, one of two things is possible:

1. User creates one contact form, and contact requests are sent to one email address. The person monitoring that email address then has to forward the email to the relevant department.

2. User creates individual contact forms for each department, and links are put throughout the site to the different contact forms.

The suggestion is to add an "email list" to the "insert field" options in the contact form. When the user clicks "Add", a window opens with the following fields: Name, Email address, Subject, Message contents. The list as seen on the website would show just the department or individual name (ex. "Communications", "Events", "Service Projects", etc.), and they choose one of these options. The email is then sent to the associated email address (ex. "communications@...", "events@...", "service@...").

Another possibility with this is to add to the "Insert field" options a "Subject" field. The person visiting the site inputs his/her own subject (rather than a predefined subject), which automatically populates the subject field in the email.

Thanks for considering this idea!
