      It is already possible to set a specific assignee for a via-email-created issue with the "CC Assignee"-flag. (CreateOrCommentHandler)

      This is not really intuitive for the user, as the CC field is also used to add watchers to the issue.

      It would be better to use the first "To"-Email found (of course only emails different to the catch-email-address).
      In case there is more than 1 additional "To"-email-address, these user(s) should become watcher(s) too.

      Usage example:
      To:

      {catchemail}

      ,

      {Assignee}

      ,

      {Watcher1}

      ,

      {Watcher2}

      CC:

      {Watcher3}

      ,

      {Watcher4}

      ...

            Assignee:
            Unassigned
            Reporter:
