//  An email address may contain both the friendly name (in quote)
//  and the email address (in angled brackets).  The friendly
//  name is optional.  When the friendly name is missing,
//  angled brackets are optional.

//  If the SendIndividual property is 1, then the email
//  is sent individually to each recipient in the list using
//  the "To" header field.

//  If the SendIndividual property is 0, then emails
//  are sent in batches of 100 BCC's.  Your program should
//  provide a single "To" address, such as:
$email->AddTo('My List','listAdmin@chilkatsoft.com');

//  This example will send emails individually, so we'll clear
//  the "To" list.
