Envelope support will let you send to more than one user - although I'm not
really a big fan of it or mod_filter

Why? Because other than these two new 'upstart' features, there is no form of
'amplification' that takes place within the server to resources, unless they have
signed up to receive them. Meaning, you have to have a 1:1 ratio of messages sent
to messages received, and spamming is impractical. Presence and groupchat both
turn this into 1:n, but they are subscribed services - you don't receive the
messages unless you have volunteered.

Just a lil rant :) Everyone ignores my opinion on the subject anyways.
