carbon copy. It means that the person who's address is in that space will also get a copy of the original e-mail.

It stands for "carbon copy" and is from the old days when letters were typed on the typewriter and you'd put a sheet of carbon paper behind your paper and get a copy that way. Everyone who gets the email will see who got the cc: If you want to send an email to someone and you don't want everyone to know, use "bcc," which means "blind carbon copy."

Cutiewitabooty, I'm not sure if you got a real answer to your question, so here goes:
the cc: is for any additional people that you want to send your message to. The bcc: is the same thing, but it is hidden from all of your other senders.
Most mail programs require you to put a comma or semicolon in the to: field when sending to more than one person. The cc: makes that unneccessary.
I hope that helps.

Carbon Copy

'carbon copy'.
It means a copy is sent to them, but it is understood the email is not 'to' them. The wording comes from the days of typewriters, when a secretary might use a carbon sheet to make a duplicate of a letter.
There is also 'bcc' - blind carbon copy. This sends a carbon copy to someone, but no other recipients see that they got it. This is actually a good idea if you are sending out a mass email to people when you really shouldn' tbe sharing all their e-mail addresses.

It's short for carbon copy, from the days when you actually had to use carbon paper to make a copy. It just means that you want to send a copy to someone other than the primary recipient. Bcc means blind carbon copy. This is a carbon copy where the recipient gets a copy but doesn't know it's a carbon copy.

Back in the old days, it meant Carbon Copy which meant another copy was being sent. In the email world, most will call it 'Courtesy Copy'... Sorta the same thing. Means that the letter is not TO them, but you'd like them to know about it.

BCC stands for "Blind Carbon replica" and CC stands for "Carbon replica". A carbon replica is basically alongside with somebody in on an digital mail which you're sending to somebody else. A blind carbon replica potential that the unique recipient of the digital mail can't see which you have sent a duplicate of the digital mail to somebody else. on the different hand, you may positioned each and all of the recipients in the BCC container in case you do no longer elect each and each recipient to work out the persons's digital mail addresses.

Stands for Carbon Copy. Sends a copy of the e-mail to the address(s) you put in. BCC does the same, but the person getting the e-mail doesn't know who else got it too.
