How to emai more than one person

Question

hi, can someone please post some code on how to send more than one person the same email, i tried what's below but get an error:
//  Send message out as email via JavaMail
//  Emails for group 1
String namesOne[] = {"[email protected], [email protected]"};
//  Vector to store names
Vector namesInGroup = new Vector();
//  Add names to vector
for(int i=0; i<namesOne.length; i++) {
     namesInGroup.add(namesOne);
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "???");
Session s = Session.getInstance(props);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(s);
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("[email protected]");
message.setFrom(from);
InternetAddress[] to = new InternetAddress[namesInGroup.size()];
String emailOfPerson;
for(int i=0; i<namesInGroup.size(); i++) {
     emailOfPerson = (String)namesInGroup.elementAt(i);
     to[i] = new InternetAddress(emailOfPerson);
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, to);
message.setSubject(subjectOfMessage);
String text = mailText.toString();
MimeMultipart mm = new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(text,"text/html");
mm.addBodyPart(mbp);
message.setContent(mm);
Transport.send(message);
// End of JavaMail code
the host is fine, ???, just didn't want to write it there, i've been able to email one person but can't get this to work, i get the following error:

Thank you.
try using addElement()method of the vector.
or get all the address as one string represented by _to
where _to = "[email protected], [email protected]";
     //set to addresss
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress() ;
InternetAddress [] toadd = to.parse(_to);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC,toadd);
i hope this wouldhelp you
thanks and regards,
