Emails on Shabbos

What is the Halacha concerning automatic emails that are sent out on Shabbos? So firstly the question is if altogether one is permitted to arrange for an email to be sent out automatically during Shabbos. Secondly, if it is permitted, what if a Jew who is not observant receives that email and therefore opens it on Shabbos?

Answer:

Emails may be automatically sent out on Shabbos if the intended audience are non Jews. A Jew should not be sent an email if he may open it on Shabbos [non observant].
