1. A method for distributing electronic messages over a network to a remote device, the method comprising:
receiving an electronic message at a transmission server sent from a source device over the network, the transmission server comprising a processor and a memory that stores the electronic message, where the electronic message includes a semi-blind distribution list including members of more than one distribution group, and with the processor
parsing the more than one distribution group;formatting a group electronic message for each of the parsed distribution groups based on the electronic message where each group electronic message includes as recipients, members of a respective one of the parsed distribution groups and where the group electronic message is formatted such that members of a common distribution group of the more than one distribution group are visible to one another as recipients in the semi-blind distribution list; andtransmitting a respective group electronic message over the network to respective remote devices of the members belonging to the more than one distribution group; and wherein the members of at least another distribution group different from the common distribution group are not visible in the respective group electronic message corresponding to the common distribution group.
