What does cc: on compose an email mean?
cc: stands for carbon copy


bcc: stands for blind carbon copy
Reply: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.
Reply: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.
Reply:cc means certified copy of your email to someone whose email address you want to hide....
Reply:carbon copy just means send the exact copy to some else
Reply:Carbon Copy...It shows the person you are sending the email to that you are also sending it to another person.





Bcc: is blind carbon copy, and it will not show the person you are mailing you are sending the email to another person.
Reply:'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.
Reply:carbon copy. You add this to inform the addresee that you sent it to someone else - usually their boss or another department.
Reply:Carbon copy.
Reply:carbon copy it means you send a copy of the same email to another person





bcc is a hidden copy...the main people in the "to" and the "cc" field wont know you sent it to the ones in "bcc"
Reply:It just means 'carbon copy.' If you want any other people to receive the mail just for information (they are not the main person you are sending it to) this is what you would use. If you do not want recipients to see each others' addresses, you use BCC (blind carbon copy).
Reply:CC - carbon copy





BCC - Blind Carbon Copy
Reply: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."
Reply:copy. It means that it is not addressed to that person, but the e-mail is for them to read to just to keep them in the loop.

Reply:it's a hang over from old carbon paper. Carbon Copy, blind carbon copy.





It was used in letters to let people know who else received a copy (not the blind portion but the regular CC)
Reply: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.
Reply: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.

Reply:It stands for " Carbon Copy". BCC stands for " Blind Carbon Copy" It allows you to send the same E-mail to multiple addresses. The BCC eliminates the addresses from being seen by everybody that you send the e-mail to in the e-mail header.

in writing letters (before the www) it meant that a carbon paper duplicated the message and that was sent to another person.





A cheap way to tell many the same thing - practiced for years before the 1980's by everybody that wrote.
