[Tutor] Error Using A List And SMTP

Thank you for clearing that. Stupid mistake here. I forgot to change the
variable names.

But I do have another question. Maybe this is a misunderstanding about the
MimeText type, but why does MimeText care about the To field when the
actually sending is being done by SMTP?
