'  Note: the distributionList.txt file contains one email
'  address per line.  For example:
' 
'  matt@chilkatsoft.com
'  "Chilkat Admin" <admin@chilkatsoft.com>
'  <support@chilkatsoft.com>
' 
'  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.
email.ClearTo
