Bcc vs Cc



Bcc stands for Blind Carbon Copy. Cc stands for "Carbon Copy.
You come across these terms when you send an email to any.

When you send an email to only one person, you type the recipient's address in the "To:" field.
When you send a message to more than one person, you have the option to enter addresses in the "Cc:" and "Bcc:" fields.

A Carbon copy message is an email that is copied to one or more recipients. Both the main recipient (whose address is in the "To:" field) and the Cc recipients can see all the addresses the message was sent to. When a message is blind carbon copied, neither the main recipient nor the Bcc recipients can see the addresses in the "Bcc:" field.

Blind carbon copying is a useful way to let others see an e-mail you sent without the main recipient knowing. It is faster than sending the original message and then forwarding the sent message to the other recipients.

Note:-It is also a good manner (netiquette) to use Bcc when copying a message to many people. This prevents the e-mail addresses from being captured by someone in the list who might use them for spamming purposes. However, if it is important that each recipient knows who your message was sent to, use carbon copy (Cc) instead
