If all the people are doing is filling in a HTML form and clicking the submit
button, then you just don't include the E-Mail address in the form itself. The
form is processed by the server and somewhere in the server's CGI code (i.e.
the PHP code or in a database) is 'hidden' the E-Mail address(es). The person
clicking on the form never sees the actual E-Mail sent out (you *could* send a
*separate* acknowledgement message, without the 'other' address).

There has got to be an WP plugin that does this (in this case the E-mail 
addresses would live in a WP plugin option).  The visitors (either directly on 
the website or from an E-Mail containing a link to the very same form), would 
just see a form and the form itself would not have any E-Mail addresses (web 
forms should NEVER have embeded E-Mail address, as that is a security/spam 
hole).
