An approach for new recipient inclusion to e-mail chains. The approach determines inclusion authorizations for one or more include participants in a current e-mail chain distribution. Responsive to a determination that the one or more authorization results are passed, the approach creates one or more authorized include participants. The approach creates one or more participant notifications based, at least in part, on the one or more authorized include participants. The approach outputs an e-mail chain to the one or more authorized include participants, wherein outputting the email chain includes outputting the one or more participant notifications based, at least in part, on predetermined participant preferences of one or more current participants in the current email chain distribution. The approach creates a next e-mail chain distribution based, at least in part, on combining the one or more authorized include participants and the one or more current participants.
