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. Go

    // 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 := chilkat.NewEmail()
    email1.SetSubject("test")
    email1.SetBody("test")

    email1.SetFromName("Joe Sample")
    email1.SetFromAddress("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>
    fmt.Println("From: ", email1.From())
    fmt.Println("--------------------------------------------------")

    // Examine the MIME of the email:
    fmt.Println(*email1.GetMime())
    fmt.Println("--------------------------------------------------")

    // 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 := chilkat.NewEmail()
    email2.SetFrom("Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>")

    fmt.Println("FromName: ", email2.FromName())
    fmt.Println("FromAddress: ", email2.FromAddress())
    fmt.Println("--------------------------------------------------")

    fmt.Println(*email2.GetMime())

    email1.DisposeEmail()
    email2.DisposeEmail()
