Classes Class MailAddress()

Class MailAddress() Professional

Class function of the MailAddress class.

Description

Instances of the MailAddress class take care of the various formatting rules for e-mail addresses. For example, all following addresses are valid e-mail addresses of the same person: 

John Doe <jd@mail.com> 
"John Doe" <jd@mail.com> 
jd@mail.com (The good guy) 
JD@mail.com

Therefore, the definition of sender and recipient addresses of an e-mail is done using MailAddress objects.

Class methods
:new()
Creates an instance of the MailAddress class.
Instance methods
:getString()
Retrieves the e-mail address as character string.
Examples
Defining sender and recipient of an e-mail 
// The example is a code snippet that demonstrates the 
// context where MailAddress objects are used. See the 
// MIMEMessage() class for a comprehensive example. 

oMail      := MIMEMessage():new() 
oSender    := MailAddress():new( "John <jd@mail.com>", .T. ) 
oRecipient := MailAddress():new( "JaneDoe@shop.com ( lovely wive )" ) 

oMail:setFrom( oSender ) 
oMail:addRecipient( oRecipient ) 

? oSender:getString()       ->     "jd@mail.com" 
? oRecipient:getString()    ->     "JaneDoe@shop.com ( lovely wive )"
