What do people carbon copy emails for?

Answer 1

As an FYI.. to someone. Especially if that person is effected by the information being passed.

Answer 2

People to whom an email is carbon copied to are not expected to reply, the point being to inform the CC recipient. I would recommend seeing the Wikipedia article on Carbon Copies for more information.

Answer 3

Most often people carbon copy emails in a situation where a question is directed at a single person or group (the to people) and the sender wants other people to see the response or the following chain of emails.

Answer 4

The Carbon Copy field is used to Send the same E-mail to multiple recipients, all the recipients listed in the carbon copy field will know the others who received the same e-mail.

Whereas the recipient of the bcc filed will not know about the other recipients.

Answer 5

For the record, CC means complimentary copy, but users prefer to call it carbon copy from the old type writer days, where you need carbon copies to have multiple copies of a single document. (But that's aeons ago where computers are as clunky as a washing machine, and have the processor speed slower thana modern digital wristwatch, and to say the least, expensive)

Here's how CC works, complimentary copies are useful when you're sending an IMPORTANT mail to as many people you want, but not referring them as the main receipient.

Answer 6

because ussually you carbon copy people that you want to see the info but dont actually do anything with it

Answer 7

When they want to let other people in on something but are not directing the email at those people.

Answer 8

Used when sending to multiple people so you aren't giving out everyones email address (CC makes it so all of the addresses are invisible to the recipients of the message)

Answer 9

when you have to communicated the same information to several people but the ones you CC are just for informational purposes and they don't need to reply
