Add a Bcc Recipient to an Email

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.AddBcc method, which adds a single blind carbon-copy (Bcc) recipient. The first argument is the friendly display name and the second is the email address. This example adds one Bcc recipient and prints the resulting count.

Background: A Bcc ("blind carbon copy") recipient receives the message, but their address is hidden from everyone else — the mail server delivers the copy and then removes the Bcc header so no recipient can see who else was blind-copied. This makes Bcc the right choice for privacy (mailing a group without exposing addresses) and for silently keeping a copy in an archive or on a second address.
