On an e-mail?What Does Cc And Bb mean?

Question

On an e-mail?What Does Cc And Bb mean I want to know now

Answer 1

CC (Carbon Copy) and BCC (Blind Carbon Copy):

It's a hold-over from the days of carbon copies, when sheets of carbon paper were placed between 2 or more sheets of regular paper. Whatever was written on the top sheet was also transferred in carbon onto the other pages. It was generally a dark blue-violet kind of color. You'll still find it on some very simple sales receipt books and the like.

So...a "CC" is a carbon copy...or copies of the original.

This designation is also used professionally on memoranda to show that a memo that was sent primarily to one person has also been sent to other people with a relavent interest in the information discussed.

And this is likely how it took on a life in the internet world on email...since it existed in the professional sector for memoranda, even after Xerox/copy machines became prolific.

"BCC"...which stands for "Blind Carbon Copy"...exists for the same reason but represents something slightly different.

A "Blind Carbon Copy" is one that is sent to a person on the sly. The primary people noticed on the memorandum or email are not aware that this person/s has been sent a copy of the same item.

In the professional world, one might do this if one wanted a union representative or a manager in a separate department to know about something, but it wouldn't be appropriate to officially notice them on the addressing.

Answer 2

CC = Carbon Copy, in other words you are sending a copy of the email to someone else, in addition to the person in the To field. The word Carbon copy is actually a term used years ago with typewriters (before there were computers). On a typewriter to make a copy of a letter, you would use a piece of carbon transfer paper in between two sheets of regular paper. When done you would have an original and a copy of the letter for files, etc. But in the age of computers, PC, laptops, etc that "old-fashioned" term stuck and is in use today with every email that is sent.

BB or BC or Bcc = Blind copy. Means you are sending a copy to another person, but no one else that you send it to can see the Bcc email address because it's hidden or blind from everyone's sight.

Good luck.

Answer 3

CC is "carbon copy" back in the olden days when you typed a letter or memo on typewritter you would put carbon paper between 2 or more sheets of paper & send the copies to other parties, or file. So it just means you are sending that e-mail to others besides the main recipient. I've never seen Bb. BCC means blind carbon copy. No one else knows you are sending it to someone else.

Answer 4

Cc means carbon copy - the email address you add in the Cc space will receive a copy of the email, and the original recipient will see that they received a copy.

Bcc means blind carbon copy - the same as above, only the original recipient will NOT see that they received a copy.

Blind Carbon Copy sends a copy without letting the recipients knowing who received it.
