ASP.NET Email From Name (non-email address)

Hi I am sending emails from my website. The from field usually is an
email address, but alot of email readers also seem to be able to
pickup a "from real name". I read somewhere that I can set this by
putting the name followed by the actual email address in
parathesis....like this...

MailMessage msgMail = new MailMessage();
msgMail.To = EmailAddress.Text;
msgMail.From = "funny email Website" + "(we*****@funny.net)";
msgMail.Subject = "Your Document";
msgMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
msgMail.Body = " ";
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "127.0.0.1";
SmtpMail.Send(msgMail);

However this doesn't seem to work for me. I am sending to an email
address in the same domain....I just get from "Website"

Any ideas, I seem to remember that CDONTS had support for a FromName,
why don't we have this in .net????

The format is : Display Name <email address>

so msgMail.From = "Some Name <someemail>";

The Exchange SMTP service can be configured to block outgoing email from
addresses it does not recognize, but I've never encountered this.

The canonical format is 'John Doe <jo*****@somedomain.com>'
