Get a Bcc Recipient's Address Only

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetBccAddr method, which returns only the address part (not the friendly-name part) of the Nth blind carbon-copy recipient. The index is zero-based. This example adds two Bcc recipients and prints each one's address.

Background: A recipient entry has two parts — a display name and an email address — and only the address is used for actual delivery. When your program needs the address itself (to validate it, deduplicate a list, or look it up in a directory), GetBccAddr gives you the bare user@domain without the surrounding display name, avoiding any parsing on your part.
