See more Email Object Examples

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

; 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 = ObjCreate("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>
ConsoleWrite("From: " & $oEmail1.From & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("--------------------------------------------------" & @CRLF)

; Examine the MIME of the email:
ConsoleWrite($oEmail1.GetMime() & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("--------------------------------------------------" & @CRLF)

; 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 = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Email")
$oEmail2.From = "Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>"

ConsoleWrite("FromName: " & $oEmail2.FromName & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("FromAddress: " & $oEmail2.FromAddress & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("--------------------------------------------------" & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite($oEmail2.GetMime() & @CRLF)
