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

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

# 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:
my $email1 = Chilkat2::Email->new;
$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, "\n";
print "--------------------------------------------------\n";

# Examine the MIME of the email:
print $email1->GetMime(), "\n";
print "--------------------------------------------------\n";

# 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.

my $email2 = Chilkat2::Email->new;
$email2->From('Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>');

print 'FromName: ', $email2->FromName, "\n";
print 'FromAddress: ', $email2->FromAddress, "\n";
print "--------------------------------------------------\n";

print $email2->GetMime(), "\n";
