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 <[email protected]>'
mail.sender    #=> '[email protected]'
mail[:sender]  #=> '#<Mail::Field:0x180e5e8 @field=#<Mail::SenderField:0x180e1c4
mail['sender'] #=> '#<Mail::Field:0x180e5e8 @field=#<Mail::SenderField:0x180e1c4
mail['Sender'] #=> '#<Mail::Field:0x180e5e8 @field=#<Mail::SenderField:0x180e1c4

mail[:sender].encoded   #=> "Sender: Mikel Lindsaar <[email protected]>\r\n"
mail[:sender].decoded   #=> 'Mikel Lindsaar <[email protected]>'
mail[:sender].addresses #=> ['[email protected]']
mail[:sender].formatted #=> ['Mikel Lindsaar <[email protected]>']
