"Copies To" field is unobviously ignored for queues without "Notify contacts when email updates arrive" set

This behaviour is confusing because people still adding CC users and may be surprised why emails don't arrive to them.

A proposed solution is just to hide that field if the queue has it turned off anyway. I don't think it's worth adding much checks around it and just don't render it will be fine.

Another alternative is to make it readonly with a popover describing why it can't be changed.

Please say your thoughts about that; the functionality is pretty simple to implement.

IMO, second alternative is better because the user won't have to search for this field if we were to make it hidden, and he will understand why it is read-only thanks to the popover.

The read-only idea sounds reasonable to me.
