#include <C_CkEmail.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkEmail email1;
    HCkEmail 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 = CkEmail_Create();
    CkEmail_putSubject(email1,"test");
    CkEmail_putBody(email1,"test");

    CkEmail_putFromName(email1,"Joe Sample");
    CkEmail_putFromAddress(email1,"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>
    printf("From: %s\n",CkEmail_ck_from(email1));
    printf("--------------------------------------------------\n");

    // Examine the MIME of the email:
    printf("%s\n",CkEmail_getMime(email1));
    printf("--------------------------------------------------\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.

    email2 = CkEmail_Create();
    CkEmail_putFrom(email2,"Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>");

    printf("FromName: %s\n",CkEmail_fromName(email2));
    printf("FromAddress: %s\n",CkEmail_fromAddress(email2));
    printf("--------------------------------------------------\n");

    printf("%s\n",CkEmail_getMime(email2));


    CkEmail_Dispose(email1);
    CkEmail_Dispose(email2);
