hiding email address from mail 'To' column...

[rsammy]

i have an application where i need to send an email within the system. i should not display the email address anywhere in the email.

 

as of now, the way it shows up(on the recipients computer) when i send the email is...

 

From:        ABC Message Center [DoNotReply@abc.com]

To:          abc@abc.com

Cc:     

Subject:    New Mail from: <Senders Name>

 

<--------- message body here-------->

 

 

how do I prevent the email address from showing up and rather show the name of the recipient?

 

heres my code:

		$row = mysql_fetch_array($result1);
		$to_id = $row["user_id"];

		$query = "SELECT user_email FROM user_mgr WHERE user_id='$userid'";
		$result = mysql_query($query);
		$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
		$user_email = $row["user_email"];
		$query = "INSERT INTO messages (message,user_id,status,subject,from_p,received,to_email,time_sent) VALUES ('$message_x','$userid','1','$subject','$user_email','$DATE','$to','$TIME')";

		$resultquery= mysql_query($query);
					 	$sentmsg_ID = mysql_insert_id();

		$sentquery = "INSERT INTO sent_messages (user_id, message_id) VALUES ('$userid', '$sentmsg_ID')";
		$resultsent=mysql_query($sentquery);
					$id = mysql_insert_id();

		$headers .= "From: $MCName <$donotreply>\n"; 
		$headers .= "X-Sender: <$donotreply>\n";
		$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
		$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; // Urgent message!
		$headers .= "Return-Path: <$varreturnpath>\n";  // Return path for errors
		$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
		$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

		$message = $name." has sent a message to you through ABC's message center.  In order to get this message follow this link ".$varurlMC.".

		<p>
					PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL AS THIS IS AN UNATTENDED,
					AUTO GENERATED EMAIL.
		</p>";

		mail($to, "New ABC Mail From: ".$name, $message, $headers);

		header("Location: main.php?m1=".$_POST["m1"]."&d1=".$_POST["d1"]."&y1=".$_POST["y1"]."&m2=".$_POST["m2"]."&d2=".$_POST["d2"]."&y2=".$_POST["y2"]);
		exit;

 

this is how i select the recipient from a drop-down...

                      <tr>
                        <td width="16"> </td>
                        <td width="87"> <div align="right"><b>To:  </b></div></td>

												union

										$result= mysql_query ($query);

										if ($result)
										{
											print ("<select name='to'>");

											if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
											  {
											   do
						    					 {

												  	$email_db = $row["user_email"];
												    print("<option value=\"$email_db\"");
													if($from_p == $email_db)
													{
														print(" selected>");
													}
													else
													{
													  	print(">");
													}
												    print $row["user_lname"]; print (", "); print $row["user_fname"];
						  					     	print("</option>");
											   	 }
											   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result));
											  }
										  }
								             print ("</select>");

									?>

				<td colspan="2">

					print ("<select name='to'>");

					if ($torow = mysql_fetch_array($toresult))
					  {
					   do
    					 {

						    print $torow["user_email"];

		             print ("</select>");
