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

LOCAL oEmail1
LOCAL oEmail2

//  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:
oEmail1 := CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")
oEmail1:Subject := "test"
oEmail1:Body := "test"

oEmail1:FromName := "Joe Sample"
oEmail1: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>
? "From: " + oEmail1:From
? "--------------------------------------------------"

//  Examine the MIME of the email:
? oEmail1:GetMime()
? "--------------------------------------------------"

//  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.

oEmail2 := CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")
oEmail2:From := "Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>"

? "FromName: " + oEmail2:FromName
? "FromAddress: " + oEmail2:FromAddress
? "--------------------------------------------------"

? oEmail2:GetMime()

oEmail1:destroy()
oEmail2:destroy()
