CC and BCC: What These Are and How These Should be Used

When composing a message in your email’s message box, you most likely have noticed the CC and BCC fields. These fields can contain addressees of the email you’re going to send. Don’t know the difference between a CC and a BCC? Below are some information on what these are and how these should be used.

CC means carbon copy or courtesy copy, and this field is used to contain the email addresses of all the persons whom you want to send a copy of the email you are sending. For example, if you’re working on a project with a team and you were asking your boss or telling him about something that concerns the project, then you’re going to put your boss’s email address on the To field and then input your teammates’ email addresses on the CC field. All the recipients, both your boss and your teammates will see who exactly got the message.

But what if you want to send a copy of the message to someone but don’t want others to know that that person received a copy? Then that’s when you should use the BCC field. BCC means blind carbon/courtesy copy, and this field is usually used when someone is being sneaky or when the sender just doesn’t want to explain why he or she feels the need to send someone else a copy of the email message. This field can also be used so that the recipients won’t see the email addresses of the others who got a copy of the email. This way, their email addresses are protected and they can be sure that other people who don’t know them won’t get their email addresses through the email you sent.
