#include <C_CkEmailW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkEmailW email1;
    HCkEmailW email2;

    // 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:
    email1 = CkEmailW_Create();
    CkEmailW_putSubject(email1,L"test");
    CkEmailW_putBody(email1,L"test");

    CkEmailW_putFromName(email1,L"Joe Sample");
    CkEmailW_putFromAddress(email1,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",CkEmailW_ck_from(email1));
    wprintf(L"--------------------------------------------------\n");

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