    While writing code to send emails using System.Net.Mail, I noticed that the MailMessage class seems to have two properties for specifying the email's sender, they are 'Sender' and 'From'. Whats the difference between these two properties? Which one do I set? Or are they basically both the same? Cheers!

      I think one is the name, the other is the email address.
