How do you eliminate the email address from the from portion of an email using ASP.NET 2.0 and vb. I want the name like John Doe to show in the from but not the email address. Help. Thanks

You have to specify an email address and as far as I know this can't be ommited.

is this just in the textbox where the user enters? as we have to ALWAYS supply an email id in the From property of the Email Object. However we can allow the users to type the name in the textbox and pick the email from the DB at run time (if you save them in your DB)...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
