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++

#include <CkEmail.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    //  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:
    CkEmail email1;
    email1.put_Subject("test");
    email1.put_Body("test");

    email1.put_FromName("Joe Sample");
    email1.put_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>
    std::cout << "From: " << email1.ck_from() << "\r\n";
    std::cout << "--------------------------------------------------" << "\r\n";

    //  Examine the MIME of the email:
    std::cout << email1.getMime() << "\r\n";
    std::cout << "--------------------------------------------------" << "\r\n";

    //  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.

    CkEmail email2;
    email2.put_From("Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>");

    std::cout << "FromName: " << email2.fromName() << "\r\n";
    std::cout << "FromAddress: " << email2.fromAddress() << "\r\n";
    std::cout << "--------------------------------------------------" << "\r\n";

    std::cout << email2.getMime() << "\r\n";
    }
