See more Email Object Examples

This example explains the email object's FromName, FromAddress, and From properties. Objective-C

#import <CkoEmail.h>

//  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:
CkoEmail *email1 = [[CkoEmail alloc] init];
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>
NSLog(@"%@%@",@"From: ",email1.From);
NSLog(@"%@",@"--------------------------------------------------");

//  Examine the MIME of the email:
NSLog(@"%@",[email1 GetMime]);
NSLog(@"%@",@"--------------------------------------------------");

//  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.

CkoEmail *email2 = [[CkoEmail alloc] init];
email2.From = @"Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>";

NSLog(@"%@%@",@"FromName: ",email2.FromName);
NSLog(@"%@%@",@"FromAddress: ",email2.FromAddress);
NSLog(@"%@",@"--------------------------------------------------");

NSLog(@"%@",[email2 GetMime]);
