I remember that system inadvertently revealed the email address of whoever sends the first message, which then may have revealed the address of the recipient if they replied to it without fully understanding the reply was going to come from their own email address rather than through their user account the Wikia system.

That looked like a privacy concern from where I'm standing, because I first thought the system would just send whatever I typed to the recipient's inbox, without it actually showing my own email address.
