Explaining the Email FromName, FromAddress, and From Properties

See more Email Object Examples

This example explains the email object's FromName, FromAddress, and From properties. B4X

'  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:
Dim email1 As ChilkatEmail
email1.Initialize
email1.Subject = "test"
email1.Body = "test"

email1.FromName = "Joe Sample"
email1.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>
Log("From: " & email1.From)
Log("--------------------------------------------------")

'  Examine the MIME of the email:
Log(email1.GetMime)
Log("--------------------------------------------------")

'  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.

Dim email2 As ChilkatEmail
email2.Initialize
email2.From = "Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>"

Log("FromName: " & email2.FromName)
Log("FromAddress: " & email2.FromAddress)
Log("--------------------------------------------------")

Log(email2.GetMime)
