Hello,  
At time of sending email, when I configure "TO" email address in email node at that time email body is received in email.

But when I configure "TO" email address in function node as msg.to at that time email is received in attachment format. Please find below snap:

In conclusion, if I want to set dynamic email address how should I set it?

Can anyone help me out

Thank you!

msg.to will give dynamic address it should be a string with ; separator just as you would do in mail  
ensure to keep to in the email node EMPTY.  
msg.payload will be body of email  
msg.topic will be subject line  
msg.cc will have CC

try this change node before email node

ensure email addresses are valid, i have put some dummy ids

```auto
[{"id":"3d7cd233f5c93500","type":"change","z":"281cdefb6b284529","name":"Mail to team","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"to","pt":"msg","to":"emailaddress1@gmail.com;emailaddress2@gmail.com;","tot":"str"},{"t":"set","p":"cc","pt":"msg","to":"emailaddress3@gmail.com;emailaddress3@gmail.com;emailaddress3@gmail.com;","tot":"str"},{"t":"set","p":"topic","pt":"msg","to":"THIS WILL BE SUBJECT","tot":"str"},{"t":"set","p":"attachments","pt":"msg","to":"[\t {\t \"filename\": fn,\t \"content\": payload\t }\t]","tot":"jsonata"},{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"'This will be body of mail and you can add dynamic content with '&msg.payload1","tot":"jsonata"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":1350,"y":1080,"wires":[[]]}]
