Mail.CreateEmailAddress Method 

Helper function that builds a full email address from a display name and an email address.

);

Parameters

name
Display name part of the email address.
email
Email address, must be a valid RFC2821 address.

Return Value

The full email address built from name and email

Remarks

A full email address is similar to what is defined in the RFC2822 as mailbox, except that the display name part supports unicode characters. CreateEmailAddress allows you to create valid full email address, even if the display name contains special chars like spaces, ", \, <, >, etc. If the display name is empty or contains only spaces, the email parameter is returned.
