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

#include <CkEmailW.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:
    CkEmailW email1;
    email1.put_Subject(L"test");
    email1.put_Body(L"test");

    email1.put_FromName(L"Joe Sample");
    email1.put_FromAddress(L"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>
    wprintf(L"From: %s\n",email1.ck_from());
    wprintf(L"--------------------------------------------------\n");

    // Examine the MIME of the email:
    wprintf(L"%s\n",email1.getMime());
    wprintf(L"--------------------------------------------------\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.

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

    wprintf(L"FromName: %s\n",email2.fromName());
    wprintf(L"FromAddress: %s\n",email2.fromAddress());
    wprintf(L"--------------------------------------------------\n");

    wprintf(L"%s\n",email2.getMime());
    }
