Lindsay, You should have getRecipients(Mail) return a collection with the new extra recipient, and getPassThrough() return true so that the original message is delivered to the original recipients.
This should be totally enough, unless you want both the original and the new recipients know about each other: in this case build a new consolidated collection in getRecipients(Mail) and return an equivalent InternetAddress[] in getTo(Mail) too, with getPassThrough() returning false.
