Sending email with different From addresses

[bkeadle]

I’m using the Groupwise client as my POP email client. I’d like to be able to change the “From” email address when sending a message. Though I can manually enter the From address in the New Message dialog, the resulting Reply-To address from the recipient is the email address configured in the GW properties. Like the Multiple Signatures applet, could an applet be made to prompt for which FROM address you’d want to send an email from? Is there one (couldn’t find it)?

Unfortunately no. GroupWise security stops you from ‘spoofing’ the from address. You can change the ‘FromText’ property, but this doesn’t change the ‘sent from’ email address. Here’s some sample code:

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)
  
  dim iDlg
  dim iAddress
  dim iChkBoxCtl
  
  set iDlg = Utilities.NewControlBoxDialog  
  iDlg.Caption = IDS_CAPTION
  iDlg.Title = "Setup From Address"
  iDlg.Description = vbcrlf & "This applet will allow you to change the 'From' email address when sending a message."

  
  set iChkBoxCtl = iDlg.AddCheckListControl
  iChkBoxCtl.caption = "Select a from address:" 
  iChkBoxCtl.Options = fchClick
  
  
  ' ===============================================================================
  ' Add the from addresses in here.  
  call iChkBoxCtl.AddItem(GroupWise.account.owner.displayname, TRUE)
  call iChkBoxCtl.AddItem("Test 1", FALSE)
  call iChkBoxCtl.AddItem("Test 2", FALSE)
  call iChkBoxCtl.AddItem("Test 3", FALSE)
  ' ===============================================================================  
  
  
  ' Is the [Ok] button pressed?  
  if (iDlg.execute = btn1) then
    iAddress = replace(iChkBoxCtl.CheckedItems.CommaText, """", "")
    if (len(iAddress) > 0) then  
      call GroupWise.FocusSet(fcsFrom, "")
      GroupWise.TypeText(iAddress)
    end if    
  end if
  
    
  set iChkBoxCtl = nothing  
  set iDlg = nothing
  
End Sub
