   MailAddress^ to = gcnew MailAddress( L"jane@contoso.com",L"Jane Clayton" );
   MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( from,to );

   // message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
   message->Subject = L"Using the SmtpClient class.";
   message->Body = L"Using this feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily.";

   // Add a carbon copy recipient.
   MailAddress^ copy = gcnew MailAddress( L"Notification_List@contoso.com" );
   message->CC->Add( copy );
   SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );

   // Include credentials if the server requires them.
   client->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultNetworkCredentials;
   Console::WriteLine( L"Sending an e-mail message to {0} by using the SMTP host {1}.", to->Address, client->Host );
   client->Send( message );
   client->~SmtpClient();
