Send-MailMessage throw error and send the email

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Run Send-MailMessage with CC or BCC, but without TO, and with BodyAsHTML.

Expected behavior

Either throw error and break (because TO is empty) or send the email (to CC or BCC) without an error.

Actual behavior

You get an error that the email address is invalid and the email is sent but empty.

@adityapatwardhan In my opinion this issue can be closed. But another issue or PR should be made to improve the user experience when using non-valid email addresses in -To, -Cc and -Bcc. It’s on my To-Do, but other PRs for this cmdlet are more important, which I want to fix first.

@ThreeFive-O Thanks for the detailed analysis. Can this issue be closed since, the cmdlet is behaving as expected?
