1. A computer-implemented method for providing time-relevant content into electronic communications over a network comprising:
- receiving, by a first computer system linked to the network, over the network, encrypted address data corresponding to a recipient for an electronic communication, the encrypted address data from a second computer system linked to the network;
creating, by the first computer system, an electronic communication including the encrypted address data and a request for obtaining content, the request for obtaining content configured to be automatically transmitted from a terminal of the recipient of the electronic communication, over the network, when the electronic communication is opened, the terminal linked to the network;
sending, by the first computer system, the electronic communication including the encrypted address data, for decryption to a decrypting computer device linked to the network and associated with the second computer system, over the network;
receiving, by the first computer system, the request for obtaining content, that was automatically transmitted over the network, from the terminal of the recipient, when the electronic communication was opened; and
responding, by the first computer system, to the received request for obtaining content that was automatically transmitted from the terminal of the recipient when the electronic communication was opened, including, assembling the content corresponding to the received request for obtaining content, to be provided to the opened electronic communication.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for delivering e-mail, typically with time relevant content, to users, whose e-mail addresses are encrypted. Specifically, the e-mails are administered by a host or home server that is transparent to the e-mail addresses of the computers and e-mail clients, that electronic communications are being sent to and received from.
