Mohan tells his friends, Sohan ([email protected]), Rohan ([email protected]) and John ([email protected]), date of his birthday party through an email as shown below: To : [email protected] Cc : [email protected] Bcc : [email protected] Subjects : My birthday party is on 15/01/2019 Hello all, Call me if you can come. Mohan Which of the following cannot be derived from this email? Correct Answer Rohan knows that John receives the email.

An email address is a unique address, which identifies a location to send and receive the email. The email address contains username, followed by an @ symbol, and then domain name i.e. name.

Internet email messages consist of two major sections:

1) Header:

• The header of an email is structured into various fields such as summary, sender, receiver, and other information about the email. The header of an email can be easily distinguished from the body of the email.
• Various fields included within the header are:

1. From: Contains the email address, and optionally name, of the sender of the message.
2. To: The email address(es), and optionally name(s), of the receiver(s) of the message.
3. Subject: A brief summary of the contents of the message.
4. Date: The local time and date when the message was originally sent.
5. CC: Stands for Carbon Copy. It contains an email address(es) of those who will receive a copy of the message in addition to the receiver(s) mentioned in field.
6. Message-ID: It shows the number assigned to the message by the mail program at the host machine.
7. A series of Received: These are the lines, showing details of the systems through which the email has passed (useful for troubleshooting if the mail bounces back).
8. A Reply-to: gives the preferred address for replies (usually but not always the same as the sender’s address).
9. Blind Carbon Copy (BCC): Copy of an email message sent to recipients but his email address does not appear in the message.

2) Body:

• The body of an email contains the message itself mostly in text form.
• An account may be configured to automatically assign a signature (of the user) at the end.
• Signature is the text appearing at the end of the body by default in each message. Normally, it is the name of the sender and other contact details.

Conclusion: All of them will know the birthday party will be held on 15/01/2019 because it is mentioned in the subject. Sohan knows that Rohan receives the email because the email is originally sent to him and the copy of the email is sent to Rohan and John. John knows that both Sohan and Rohan receive the email because the cc and receiver of the message can be seen by everyone. But Rohan and Sohan do not know that John receives the email because Bcc does not appear in the message.
