eMail programs come with several helpful features. Two features are the CC: and BCC: fields. They can each be useful when you want to send an email to more than one person.
Meaning
CC stands for "carbon copy." BCC stands for "blind carbon copy."
Function
When you use CC, you are sending a copy of the email to a second person, in addition to the primary recipient.
When you BCC someone, the email recipient receives a copy, but no one else can see that she did.
Usage
If you want the main recipient of the email to see that another person also saw the email, use the CC field.
If you want more than one person to see the email, but do not want to main recipient to know, use the BCC field.
Considerations
Do not CC or BCC someone on an email unless it is necessary for her to see it.
Warning
Double check that you used the right field. It is easy to CC someone when you meant to BCC them.
