[docs] [issue29771] An email and MIME handling package - Add support to send CC of email

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

You need to review how SMTP works. The contents of the mail message have no bearing on where messages are sent. That's exactly how BCC works: there's nothing in the message telling you who is BCC'd, but the mail is still sent to the BCC recipients, via SMTP.

Similarly, you could have the message say that someone at example.com is in the To: header, but not send it to them via SMTP.

I'm on the fence about including this in the examples.

In any event, this bug tracker is not a place for an email tutorial. From your SO link, there's a reference (by user xyref) to another question which explains this in detail: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1546367/python-how-to-send-mail-with-to-cc-and-bcc. This completely explains the issue.
