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. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // 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:
    const email1 = try chilkat.Email.init();
    defer email1.deinit();
    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>
    std.debug.print("From: {s}\n", .{try email1.getFrom(alloc)});
    std.debug.print("--------------------------------------------------\n", .{});

    // Examine the MIME of the email:
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try email1.getMime(alloc)});
    std.debug.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.

    const email2 = try chilkat.Email.init();
    defer email2.deinit();
    email2.setFrom("Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>");

    std.debug.print("FromName: {s}\n", .{try email2.getFromName(alloc)});
    std.debug.print("FromAddress: {s}\n", .{try email2.getFromAddress(alloc)});
    std.debug.print("--------------------------------------------------\n", .{});

    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try email2.getMime(alloc)});
