What is CC?
CC is an abbreviation of “Carbon copy”. The term is used to send an email when the user intends to communicate the contents of the email to other recipients in addition to the main recipient.
The term “carbon” comes from carbon paper, a chemical paper that has an ink layer on one side and has the function of transferring the ink when the opposite side is pressed. In all own programs for sending and receiving electronic messages when the user composes a message, there are the delivery options: To, Cc, and Bcc.
Typically, when an email is sent to a single person, the most common is to enter the e-mail address in the “To” field. The “Cc” field will be used, for example, in professional communications when the same message interests other people involved in a project. The addresses placed in the “Cc” field will be visible to all recipients.
If the user wants to hide the email addresses of the other recipients, then the “Bcc” option must be selected. The addresses placed in the “Bcc” field will not be visible.
