Including name with eMail Adddress when using MailMessage Class

[CarlInAl]

Rather than setting the MailMessage.To and MailMessage.From properties
with something like "so******@someDomain.com" I would like to include
the name along with the email address.

Is something like this possible to set the To property to send and
email to John Doe?

MailMessage eMail = new MailMessage();
eMail.To =@''John Doe[jo*****@someDomain.com";

Big thanks for any help on this.

Try

eMail.To = "John Doe <jo*****@someDomain.com>";

That's how you'd usually set the to property in an email header.
Please note that I have not tried this out with .NET :)
