Electronic mail, most commonly abbreviated email and e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages. E-mail systems are based on a store-and-forward model in which e-mail computer server systems accept, forward, deliver and store messages on behalf of users, who only need to connect to the e-mail infrastructure, typically an e-mail server, with a network-enabled device for the duration of message submission or retrieval. Originally, e-mail was always transmitted directly from one user's device to another's; nowadays this is rarely the case.

An electronic mail message consists of two components, the message header, and the message body, which is the email's content. The message header contains control information, including, minimally, an originator's email address and one or more recipient addresses. Usually additional information is added, such as a subject header field.

Originally a text-only communications medium, email was extended to carry multi-media content attachments, which were standardized in with RFC 2045 through RFC 2049, collectively called, Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME).

The foundation for today's global Internet e-mail service was created in the early ARPANET and standards for encoding of messages were proposed as early as 1973 (RFC 561). An e-mail sent in the early 1970s looked very similar to one sent on the Internet today. Conversion from the ARPANET to the Internet in the early 1980s produced the core of the current service.

Network-based email was initially exchanged on the ARPANET in extensions to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), but is today carried by the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), first published as Internet standard 10 (RFC 821) in 1982. In the process of transporting email messages between systems, SMTP communicates delivery parameters using a message envelope separately from the message (headers and body) itself.

How to email a list of people while hiding their email addresses but showing their names?
Q. Is it possible to send an email to multiple people so that the recipients cannot see the email addresses of the other recipients, but can see the names of the other recipients? Thus, for example, the recipient would know, "Oh, Mary also received this email" but would not see Mary's email address. Can this be done by giving the recipients a nickname?

A. Hello, This is a goofy answer and I don't recommend it, but it answers the question. Send the e-mail To: yourself, but make your real name the names or nicknames of all the contacts you are sending the email to. Your name will really be one really long name that consists of all their names added together. Then BCC all of the contacts real email addresses. It's very possible this will get caught by several ISP's spam filters. -Raymond

A. I searched for a correct solution for automatic email sending, but as I know there's no way making it thus. However if your clients, users generally visit a site in connection with your issue, or you're able to visit a site once a day (or once in a certain time period), then you can include a php script into that site. It would search through your database, check the entries, and with the "mail()" function you could send your emails to whom your php script filtered out. Some sources that will probably help you:
