[Tutor] Trouble with a Recipe ...

[Vern Ceder]

At the top in the docstring it says, '"To", "Cc" and "Bcc" values must 
be *lists*'.

That means instead of "To":  "garry.bettle at gmail.com", you need "To": 
["garry.bettle at gmail.com"] i.e. a list containing the destination 
address. That's so that you could send to, cc and bcc more than one address.

HTH,

Vern
