Explaining the Email FromName, FromAddress, and From Properties

See more Email Object Examples

This example explains the email object's FromName, FromAddress, and From properties. C#

//  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>
//  
//  	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());
