It seems that this version of the method does not support characters that need to be encoded in the display name, it raises a IndexOutOfRangeException in System.Net.Mime.MailBnfHelper.ReadQuotedString(string data, ref int offset, System.Text.StringBuilder builder, bool doesntRequireQuotes).Call the other overload this way :
MailAddressCollection addresses = new MailAddressCollection();addresses.Add(new MailAddress(address));
Outlook uses a semi-colon to separate e-mail addresses, and the SMTP RFC says to use the semi-colon. You can even assign addresses like: message.To = "address;address"; So it's strange that this method's addresses parameter expects commas as a separators. (If you had to choose one character, why choose the one that is less standard?)
