I am trying to create a cc in NodeRed to send mail.

My attempt:

msg.to = msg.MailDaten.An;  
**msg.cc = "[Test1Mail@gmx.net](mailto:Test1Mail@gmx.net),Test2Mail@gmx.net"**;  
msg.topic = msg.MailDaten.Betreff;  
msg.attachments = msg.payload;  
msg.text = msg.MailDaten.InhaltText;  
msg.html = msg.MailDaten.InhaltHTML;  
return msg;

does not work.  
I receive the mail but no cc is sent.

How must the msg.cc be defined so that the MailSend-Node accepts it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

that looks ok to me - it should be a comma separated string of valid email addresses.  
(as usual works fine for me...)

Hi dceejay  
Thank's for your answer.  
Can you show me how you define msg.cc with an example of 2 fiction eMail adresses.  
The way i do does not work and i use valid email addresses.

Feed the message you are sending to the email node into a debug node set to output Complete Message and see what it shows.

Hi Colin.  
I did this und the message shows:  
 ![Bildschirmfoto 2021-06-26 um 02.44.01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/7/c/7c792ec737b37396f66c2b1a3ecba32db3358094.png)  
But the sendmail-node did not use it and only takes the defined msg.to. No cc was sent.

Thank's for your help.  
I solved the problem.  
I write the to: Mailadresse direct in the Send Email Node.  
Then it does not accept cc and bcc.  
If you use msg.to and leave the node empty it works fine.
