Email Via Smtp

I have all of the SMTP emailing working.
Question is:
When you send an email it shows the senders from email.
How do you get it to Show the senders Name, like it does if you use Outlook.
Where would you format that code.?

Maybe in the Email settings form, If you added a field with Display sender Name.
That way it would add the senders name to the senders email.
I know Richard knows what I'm talking about. LOL

I guess it depends how you want to work it.
You could parse the headers from a received email and show that.

If it's a new email fresh you could look up contacts using the Outlook API or might just have to save the info in your own db and show that instead.

What I want to do Alex is when I send an email
and the email Receiver gets my email in there email client, say Outlook
they will see at the header of the email my Name instead of my email address.
