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. Rust

// 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:
let email1 = chilkat::Email::new();
email1.set_subject("test");
email1.set_body("test");

email1.set_from_name("Joe Sample");
email1.set_from_address("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>
println!("From: {}", email1.from());
println!("--------------------------------------------------");

// Examine the MIME of the email:
println!("{}", email1.get_mime().unwrap_or_default());
println!("--------------------------------------------------");

// 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.

let email2 = chilkat::Email::new();
email2.set_from("Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>");

println!("FromName: {}", email2.from_name());
println!("FromAddress: {}", email2.from_address());
println!("--------------------------------------------------");

println!("{}", email2.get_mime().unwrap_or_default());
