Overview

Sender Field

The Sender field inherits sender StructuredField and handles the Sender: header field in the email.

Sending sender to a mail message will instantiate a Mail::Field object that has a SenderField as its field type. This includes all Mail::CommonAddress module instance metods.

Only one Sender field can appear in a header, though it can have multiple addresses and groups of addresses.

Examples:

mail = Mail.new mail.sender = 'Mikel Lindsaar mikel@test.lindsaar.net' mail.sender #=> 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net' mail #=> '#<Mail::Field:0x180e5e8 @field=#<Mail::SenderField:0x180e1c4 mail #=> '#<Mail::Field:0x180e5e8 @field=#<Mail::SenderField:0x180e1c4 mail #=> '#<Mail::Field:0x180e5e8 @field=#<Mail::SenderField:0x180e1c4

mail.encoded #=> "Sender: Mikel Lindsaar mikel@test.lindsaar.net\r\n" mail.decoded #=> 'Mikel Lindsaar mikel@test.lindsaar.net' mail.addresses #=> ['mikel@test.lindsaar.net'] mail.formatted #=> ['Mikel Lindsaar mikel@test.lindsaar.net']
