Then you just need to look for invalid characters and remove them. Did you tried Trim Method ? Also, you sure the Target file has only 1 email address :P

Code:

Private Sub Emaillocation()
        Dim Target As String
        Target = "http:/**********/*****/Target.txt"
        Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(Target)
        Dim response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
        Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1252"))
        Dim Targettxt As String
        Targettxt = sr.ReadToEnd()
        TargetX.Text = Targettxt
      Call email()
    End Sub

Private Sub email()
        Dim AnEmailMessage As New MailMessage
        AnEmailMessage.From = New MailAddress("************@gmail.com")
        Dim mailTo As String = TagetX.Text
        AnEmailMessage.To.Add(mailTo)
        AnEmailMessage.Subject = ("**************")
        AnEmailMessage.Body = ("*****************************")
        Dim SimpleSMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
        SimpleSMTP.Port = 587
        SimpleSMTP.EnableSsl = True
        SimpleSMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("**************@gmail.com", "******")
        SimpleSMTP.Send(AnEmailMessage)
    End Sub

What we really need you to do is put a breakpoint on the highlighted line, then when the program breaks there, hover your mouse over the "mailTo" variable and check it's value.

Otherwise, you can try this (very general Regex, could not be fucked trying to type out a more specific one because you're already working with an email address, you just need to make sure it's correct. You will need to import the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace for this to work.)

[php]
Dim NewReg As New Regex("\b.*?@.*\b")
If NewReg.IsMatch(targetX.Text) Then
AnEmailMessage.To.Add(NewReg.Match(targetX.Text).V alue)
Else
MessageBox.Show(String.Concat("There was an invalid email address found!", New String(ControlChars.CrLf, 2), targetX.Text) , "Error: Invalid Email", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
Exit Sub
End If
[/php]
