Get a Cc Recipient's Name Only

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

Background: A recipient combines a display name with an address, such as Jane Doe <jane@example.com>. GetCcName returns just the Jane Doe portion, which is handy for showing a friendly label in a UI. The name is optional free-form text, so it may be empty — when it is, fall back to the address from GetCcAddr.
