becuase the email is being sent to several different people. Dont worry your email addy is in there somewhere. It is called bbc .. A bulk blind copy of sorts. This way only one email is sent from my computer but goes to several people. Kinda in a way like spam or bulk mail ... :)

Your friend is sending it to you as a BCC: or Blind Carbon Copy. BCC addressees are stripped from the e-mail. The most common reason that people use BCC: is to hide the other addressees from each other. This also often hides you from yourself.
