E-mail的格式 1．表头 表头包括了From（发信人姓名）、To（收信人姓名）、Cc（副本收信人）、Blind Cc（隐匿副本收信人）及Subject（主题）5个项目，其余的项目通常可视使用人的需要，增加或者删减。 ①From ：（发信人地址／姓名） 这一项所记载的是发信人姓名或发信人的电子邮件地址（E-m ail ad d ress），或两种的组合。但通常发出的信件会自动插入发信人姓名或邮件地址，所以也可将之省去。如果在Netscape上设定From ：这个项目，如下所示就是自动显示事先设定的使用者姓名及电子邮件地址： From ：Virginia Someya ＜＠hotmail．com＞ 发信者：（登录使用者）姓名电子邮件地址 ②To：（收信人地址／姓名） 根据软件的不同，本项目的表头有的只显示To（寄往），有的则以Mail to显示。无论如何，在这部分都会要输入收信人的电子邮件地址。例如，现在要传送邮件给Mike这个人，他的电子邮件地址是Mike＠abc．com，就将这些符号输入此项目中。 Mail to：Mike＠abc．com 收信人的电子邮件地址 在本例中只输入E-mail address，但根据设定方法的不同，也可以和From项目一样；以［收信人姓名（权名）＋电子邮件地址］的形式表示： ③Cc（副本收信人地址／姓名） 在发信给某人的同时，有时会想将同一封信发给其他人。例如发给A一封有关某计划书的信时，有时也会想将同一封信发给B、C、D，这时你不必一一写信再寄出去，只要在发给A的书信上的Cc：栏内，输入B、C、D的地址，电脑就会自动将文书的副本分别传送到你指定的副本收信人处。 Cc：a＠abc．comb＠abc．comc＠abc．com 利用Cc功能分发的信件，原收信人及副本收件人都知道这封信分发给了哪些人，而且，回信时也可以同时发给全体相关人员，让彼此保持更密切的联系和沟通，使工作更有效率地开展。

④Blind Cc（隐匿副本收信人地址／姓名） 在某些情况下，不想让原收件人知道副本的收件人，这时就要运用Blind Cc：功能（有些软件没有这项功能，有些不以Blind Cc：表示，而写成Bcc：或 bcc：，或以大写表示）。 以Blind Cc：功能发出信件副本，原收信人将无法得知寄件人同时也将信发给第三者。当然，收件人所得到的信件上，也将表明这封信是由bcc发出的。 不过，使用bcc应特别留意。因为bcc的特色就在于“机密性”，为了保密而发出隐匿副本给某人时，对方如果不了解bcc的意义，而将信的内容或bcc又寄给第三者，就会引发意外的麻烦。 ⑤Subject（文件名／信件主题） 对电子邮件而言，设定适当的“信件主题”格外重要。 一般而言，电子邮件软件在程启动时，会出现收件一览表，其显示方式也会因不同的收件软件而有所区别，但它一般包括发件人、主题、日期、内容等几部分。 另外，在信件主题列中通常会显示：Re：，这是什么意思呢？将来信显示在书面上或打印出来看时，就会看到在主题列中的Re：，原本为拉丁文中介系词，相当于about或regarding，在一般的商业文书中常用于取代subject，作为信件主题列的表头，所以subject：和Re：通常不会重复使用。
