thanks for the review! addressed some of your comments in-line and will
send a v2 with the rest.

making this configurable sounds reasonable to me. i'd tend towards
making the masking opt-out, though. at least on a crate level. my
use-case for this crate is to send mails to all participants of a
training, so there disclosing the mail addresses of other participants
could be really bad (even legally actionable, afaict). i can see the
value of this information in a notification scenario. however, i think
the implications of forgetting to disclose this in some scenarios is
much less detrimental than doing so in scenarios where we don't want to
disclose them.

yep makes sense, this is starting to spaghettify so yeah, i'll break
these out a bit.

will try to add this in a v2.
