I can not figure out how to set a custom recipient when using mime mail with rules.
I want to send an email to a translator whenever a content is created. The email could be typed in directly, but I would like it more, if I can get the email adress from a cck-field.
The problem: In the mime mail setup in the triggered rule the only thing I see is a groupfield with the title "Arguments configuration" and in that groupfield a dropdown with the options "action user" and "content author". Is it not possible to set a custom user? Or is something wrong with my installation?

This is not a Mime Mail, but a Rules issue. Furthermore I think this is a duplicate of #545092: How to sent email to user referenced in CCK userreference field. I am quoting the first post from that thread.

Create a triggered Rule
Then in conditions choose "Content has type" - choose the type with your user reference field in it.

In the actions you then need to "Load a referenced user" choosing to load the user reference you want the mail to go to. read about aruments configuration
Then another action "Send a mail to user" and choose the argument you created in the "Load a referenced user" action.
