B4J Question B4J send email, question about email sender ...

[Pietro Pancino]

Hi all!
I work on a specific app that send mail to customers.
Every thing is working fine, but I just wonder il there is à way to hide the real email like in the first line (in picture), and put a nickname like Linkedin...

I send the mail like this:

dim from_mail as string = "[email protected]
smtp.Sender=from_mail

Maybe there is a way to encode the email string address like:

dim from_mail as string = "[email protected] [The Sender]"

In order to have The sender display in outlook for example instead of [email protected]

It's not a big deal, but it's more informative for the person receiving the mail...

If anyone have an idea!

;-)

How about?

Dim from_mail As String = "The Sender <[email protected]>"

SMTP Reply-to email

Hi, I am sending a email using SMTP but trying to work out how to add a reply-to (or make it show it sent from someone else) Currently it's sending fine by using: SMTP.Initialize(smtpServer, smtpPort, "[email protected]", "xxxxxx", "smtp") SMTP.UseSSL = True SMTP.Sender = "myname"...

dim from_mail as string = "[email protected] [The Sender]"

Usually it should be defined as something like

dim from_mail as string = "The Sender <[email protected]>"

and put a nickname like Linkedin...

TIP: Let your emailclient show you the sourcecode of the email.
You´ll see how linkedin is defined in the email.
