Conditional email addresses within email actions SWQL query

This may belong in the alert lab - but it's not explicitly an alert of xml file type and is in essence a SWQL query.

Regardless I wanted to show how you can use the custom SWQL variables within the to / cc / bcc fields in email actions to send email conditionally to specific folks. This could also be a custom SQL variable also but works out better to be SWQL. Similar custom variables can also be leveraged in other alert actions such as filling in the data of a text custom property conditionally also.

Some caveats with this - you cannot use parenthesis within the queries, the email actions do not like them and won't accept the input.
