My findings from a quick read of the send-email script:

 * There are --suppress-cc and --suppress-from but there is no
   --suppress-to option at all.

 * There are --no-cc and --no-to but they suppress cc and to
   addresses from the command line (and probably from the
   configuration); addresses a specific patch file lists to be sent
   are not affected.

Documentation updates might be needed.
