Function Of The CC And BCC In Email Correspondence by lantres000(m): 5:52pm On Aug 11, 2015
Good evening Gents

Please i wish to get clarification on how the CC and BCC woks in email correspondence.

For example I got a mail that I was CC and I responded to that mail and the whole world is calling for my head.

Please anyone with a clearer view? Some times the routine things we do might be wrong.

Thanks Guys

CC: means carbon copy...i.e. You get a copy of the mail while its visible to others too that a copy was sent to you.
This may as well mean that the message is not originally for you, but be aware. The real intent of the mail recipient goes to the mail in the "To" field, then others are just copy.

BCC: this on the other hand means... Blind Carbon Copy... Recipients in this field would receive the mail as well but it won't show to people in the TO and CC fields that you have a copy. Just as the name, its blind... I also call it secret copy to someone.

I hope that's explicit enough.

I think it is just a read only. A CC mail is just for your information, for you to be notified.
Unless if the mail specifies that you respond.

More importantly while responding, clicking the reply button assumes you're replying the whole recipients, so your response automatically goes to everybody in the TO and CC fields. So be mindful of the TO and CC fields again while responding.

It depends,may need to speak with the original owner of the mail.

While responding, clicking on the reply button means only the sender will get the reply. However, clicking on 'reply all' will send the message to everybody in the 'TO' and 'CC' fields
