function chilkatExample() {

    // 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:
    var 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>
    console.log("From: " + email1.From);
    console.log("--------------------------------------------------");

    // Examine the MIME of the email:
    console.log(email1.GetMime());
    console.log("--------------------------------------------------");

    // 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.

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

    console.log("FromName: " + email2.FromName);
    console.log("FromAddress: " + email2.FromAddress);
    console.log("--------------------------------------------------");

    console.log(email2.GetMime());
