CC refers to carbon copies - from the days when letters were typed out using manual typewriters and copies were made, while typing, using carbon papers. So CC refers to people, other than the main addressees, who will also get a copy.
BCC refers to "Blind CC". These are people who will receive copies but their names will not appear in the list of recipients so nobody else will know that they have been copied in.
CC is carbon copy which is the exact same thing as the original email and BCC is blind carbon copy which means they cannot see the people it was sent to.
Carbon Copy BCC = Blind Carbon Copy
Carbon Copy.... if you type an email address in that line, that person will receive a copy of the email you are sending. BCC is Blind Carbon Copy meaning that if you type an address in the BCC line, that person will receive a copy of the email you are sending but their email address will not show to the others who received the email.
bcc means blind carbon copy. cc means carbon copy. The abbreviation cc come from a long time ago when if you wanted to make a copy of a letter you were writing you put a piece of carbon paper followed by another piece of paper behind it and the impressions made when writing or typing the letter caused the carbon paper to duplicate what you wrote on the other piece of paper. This made a "carbon copy" which you could keep or send to someone else. So, cc means you are sending a copy of your email to the people listed in the cc space. bcc means blind cc, meaning the person you're emailing will not know you also sent copies to these people.
Carbon Copy...as in sending an email to more than one person. BCC is Blind Carbon Copy..when you send an email to two people, but the person in the "Send to:" category does not know that the person in the "BCC" category has received the same email.
Cc means Carbon copy, and if an email address is entered into the Cc box a back up copy of the email will be sent to that person. Bcc means Blind Carbon copy, and if an email address is entered into the Bcc box a back up copy is sent to the person, but they don't see who else has received the email.
cc=carbon copy bcc= blind carbon copy. use these when sending to multiple addresses
CC means to send a copy of the email you are sending to more than just the person or persons in the "To" field. BCC means to do the same except in this case the email can be sent without the persons in the "To" and "CC" fields knowing.
These stand for 'Carbon Copy' and 'Blind Carbon Copy'. All email addresses in CC and BCC will be sent the email you have written. The difference is that addresses in the BCC list will not be able to see the addresses of anyone else you have sent the email to.
BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. When you use CC you let all the e-mail receivers know who received a copy of the e-mail. When you use BCC, the members of the BCC group are not revealed to the other people who receive the e-mail. If you receive an e-mail that shows the only recipient as the sender, it probably means that your e-mail address was included on the BCC line.
BCC means blind courtesy copy the main recipient will not see the other email addresses.
BCC is the same as CC, except that the BCC field isn't public. An email sent to you via BCC will look as if it was sent normally and magically ended up in your inbox. This is handy for mailing lists, as you could send an email to yourself or nobody and have all of the recipients in the BCC field, protecting their privacy.
