vuSetFromReplyTo()

Clarion prototype

Prototype: vuSetFromReplyTo(*CSTRING InFromEmail, *CSTRING InReplyToEmail), SIGNED, PROC, PASCAL, RAW, NAME(‘vuSetFromReplyTo’)

Description

This is the legacy vuMail function name.

Preferred function name:

• vuSmtpSetFromReplyTo()

This function is exported for backward compatibility and behaves identically to vuSmtpSetFromReplyTo().

From value rules

vuSetFromReplyTo() now accepts any of these forms for the From value:

• Plain email address: sender@example.com
• Full mailbox: Sender Name <sender@example.com>
• Display name only: Technical Support

Behavior:

• Plain address stores the sender address only.
• Full mailbox stores both the sender address and the display name.
• Display-name-only uses the existing saved/default sender address and updates only the display name.

If a display name is supplied without an email address and there is no existing saved/default sender address available, the call fails.

Example (Clarion)

rc      LONG
fromAdr CSTRING(256)
replyTo CSTRING(256)

fromAdr = 'sales@example.com'
replyTo = 'support@example.com'

rc = vuSetFromReplyTo(fromAdr, replyTo)
IF rc = 0
  MESSAGE('From/Reply-To was not accepted: ' & vuMailLastError())
END
