This example explains the email object's FromName, FromAddress, and From properties. Chilkat2 Java

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.Email;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // 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:
        Email email1 = new Email();
        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>
        System.out.println("From: " + email1.getFrom());
        System.out.println("--------------------------------------------------");

        // Examine the MIME of the email:
        System.out.println(email1.getMime());
        System.out.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.

        Email email2 = new Email();
        email2.setFrom("Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>");

        System.out.println("FromName: " + email2.getFromName());
        System.out.println("FromAddress: " + email2.getFromAddress());
        System.out.println("--------------------------------------------------");

        System.out.println(email2.getMime());
