// The email's FROM name and address can be set in several ways.
// It can include an optional friendly name (which is just a description),
// and it must include an address.

// For example:
Chilkat.Email email1 = new Chilkat.Email();
email1.Subject = "test";
email1.Body = "test";

email1.FromName = "Joe Sample";
email1.FromAddress = "joe.sample@example.com";

// the From property contains both the FromName and FromAddress
// This produces the following output:
// From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
Debug.WriteLine("From: " + email1.From);
Debug.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------");

// Examine the MIME of the email:
Debug.WriteLine(email1.GetMime());
Debug.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------");

// Output is:

// 	MIME-Version: 1.0
// 	Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:32:13 -0600
// 	Message-ID: <02B461C6D12FA6686C3151A649ED8D5BBFBE0721@CHILKAT13>
// 	Content-Type: text/plain
// 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
// 	X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
// 	Subject: test
// 	From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
// 	CKX-Bounce-Address: joe.sample@example.com
// 
// 	test

// --------------------------------------------
// Alternatively, the From property can be set, and this 
// implicitly sets the FromName and FromAddress properties.

Chilkat.Email email2 = new Chilkat.Email();
email2.From = "Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>";

Debug.WriteLine("FromName: " + email2.FromName);
Debug.WriteLine("FromAddress: " + email2.FromAddress);
Debug.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------");

Debug.WriteLine(email2.GetMime());
