Get a To Recipient's Full Address

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetTo method, which returns a To recipient's full email address (display name and address together) at a given zero-based index. This example adds two To recipients and enumerates them.

Background: The To list holds a message's primary recipients. GetTo returns the combined Display Name <address> form; use GetToAddr or GetToName for just the address or name. Iterate from 0 to NumTo - 1 to read the whole recipient list.
