Ever wondered what Ccand BCC means when sending an email
Wonder no more
Cc stands for "carbon copy."

Anyone you add to the "cc" field of a message receives a copy of that message when you send it. All other recipients of that message can see that person you designated as a cc: recipient.

Bcc: stands for "blind carbon copy." Anyone you add to the bcc: field of a message receives a copy of that message when you send it. But, bcc: recipients are invisible and their identities concealed to all the other recipients of the message including other Bcc: recipients.

Now what is the importance of this knowledge of Cc and Bcc?

Sometimes if you are being referred by someone to apply for a job, you may sometimes need to put the person that referred you in copy to further strengthen your chances. Its more like a referral.

If you want the person you send the application, to know who referred you, you use Cc, if you want to code it, so other don't know about other recipient you use Bcc.

Thanks Op.

Cc = Carbon copy (whoever you copied or sent the mail to is seen by others )
Bcc =Blind carbon copy (whoever you copied or sent the mail to is not seen by others. kind of private)

Whenever I am sending a mail, I always bcc my alternate mail. I refer to it to be sure the main mail has been sent.

NB
TO is the principal recipient of the mail;
CC is the secondary recipient of the mail;
BCC is the tertiary recipient of the mail.

When sending cc to more than one person, it is considered good practice to start listing the person's based on heirachy/seniority/relevance to the mail content.

We learn everyday

Some see it as offence if you dnt list the emails/names in order of Seniority or rank.

Good!

Also, if the sent mail is replied (reply all), the BCC'ed won't receive a copy of the mail.

Learnt

CC= copy copy
BCC: but Copy Copy

This is very good info..

Educative.

I can't really say about BCC
But I can tell you about BMC

Ok

BCC: if you want to blast combo list.
CC: if you want to report hackers threat to your boss.

I know this since 20 years ago.

CC stands for Carbon Copy,
while BCC stands for stands for Blind Carbon Copy


2. When you CC, all recipients will see everyone you copied or you are sending the same email to i.e the email address appears after the Cc

while if you BCC, other recipients will not see everyone you copied or you are sending the same email to i.e -> the Email address of the recipients specified in this field do not appear in the received message header and the recipients in the To or Cc fields will not know that a copy sent to these address.

CC stands for carbon copy while BCC stands for blind carbon copy...

Nice one

I thought you are asking us what they mean?

The CC allows the receiver to know where and who sent the Email while the BCC the receiver won't be able to know or see the senders Email and it can also be sent to multiple Emails at the same time.
