Oh, I disagree.  As someone (Ian?) pointed out, there's some long-established common use about what the term "third-party" means, and I don't think we need to establish rough consensus on something like that.

For a message (not even specifically email) from A to B via C, A is the first party, B is the second party, C is the third party.

The first several definitions I found via a simple Google search concurred.

Let's not waste time on this.
