Quotes in email addresses using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage Class

Hi,

According to RFC 2822: Internet Message Format, the following should be a 
valid email address:

chris.o'connell@world.com

But on using the aformentioned class, a format exception will be thrown when 
creating a message.

Is there a way I can use this email address for a message created using this 
class?

Thanks,

Campbell

You're correct that the single quote is valid, but I'm unable to find any 
workarounds.

You could try \' or DisplayName <addresse> just in case...
