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. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // 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:
  final email1 = CkEmail();
  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>
  print('From: ${email1.from}');
  print('--------------------------------------------------');

  // Examine the MIME of the email:
  print(email1.getMime());
  print('--------------------------------------------------');

  // 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.

  final email2 = CkEmail();
  email2.from = 'Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>';

  print('FromName: ${email2.fromName}');
  print('FromAddress: ${email2.fromAddress}');
  print('--------------------------------------------------');

  print(email2.getMime());
