In email, the abbreviation CC indicates secondary recipients of a message: those who are to receive a copy of a message directed to another. The list of CCed recipients is visible to all other recipients of the message. An additional BCC(blind carbon copy) field is available for hidden notification; recipients listed in the BCC field receive a copy of the message but are not shown on any other recipient's copy (including other BCC recipients).

In common usage, To field recipients are the primary audience of the message, CC field recipients are others whom the author wishes to publicly inform of the message, and BCCfield recipients are those surreptitiously being informed of the communication.
