Answer 1

You assign recipients to the setter method. See how you add it, you will see that you have added Message.RecipientType.TO. The same can be done with CC and BCC. You can also use the addRecipient method to do this.

Example:

 message.addRecipient(RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress( " [e-mail] ")); message.addRecipient(RecipientType.CC, new InternetAddress( " [e-mail] "));
