Cc



Cc is shorthand for Carbon copy. If you add a recipient's name to this box in an Outlook e-mail message, a copy of the message is sent to that recipient, and the recipient's name is visible to other recipients of the message.



Bcc



Bcc is shorthand for Blind carbon copy. If you add a recipient's name to this box in a mail message, a copy of the message is sent to that recipient, and the recipient's name is not visible to other recipients of the message. If the Bcc box isn't visible when you create a new message, you can add it.

CC: Carbon Copy, sends a copy of the email to everyone you check. Also, everyone can see who got cc's, so everyone knows who is in on the email.



BCC: Blind Carbon copy, means that someone gets a copy, but is not listed on any other copies of the email, so no one else knows. If you want to keep your Boss, Buddies, FBI, Lovers, informed of something, but don't want any of the recipients to know, use BCC.



If one of your recipients is good at hacking, don't bother with BCC, just copy the info into a new, totally separate email, and send that.

CC: Carbon Copy of original message, all recipients will be shown to this user just as if you had it in the TO: line



BCC: Blind Carbon Copy of original message, hides this users email but shows the emails of people in the TO and the CC to the BCC recipient, multiple BCC recipients cannot see each other

hope you are referring to e-mail terms. CC is carbon copying and BCC is bling carbon copying. CC is visible to who ever you are marking a CC. if you use BCC, the addresses mentioned in BCC cannot be seen by others i.e addresses invisible to all others.

TThe finished variety of CC is Carbon reproduction and for BCC is Blind Carbon reproduction. in case you enter an digital mail handle interior the To container:each and every person sees to whom you have sent the digital mail CC container:each and every person sees to whom all you have sent the digital mail BCC container:no person sees to whom all you have sent the digital mail. Now if u desire to deliver the comparable mail to ten ppl.incorporate ur digital mail id interior the TO container and fill up the BCC container with the different 10 digital mail ids. desire it replaced into powerful!!

Blind carbon copy (BCC) allows you to send email where no one will see who it was sent to. Any address there is hidden.

CC -> Carbon Copy

BCC -> Blind Carbon Copy.



CC -> Example:

CC: abc@hotmail.com, def@hotmail.com

BCC: ghj@hotmail.com, jjj@hotmail.com



abc@hotmail.com and def@hotmail.com can see their email address in the email that you sent.



ghj@hotmail.com, jjj@hotmail.com --> will not be listed in the email.



So CC is useful if you are using it for your friends since you know each other.



BCC is useful when you want to mass send information about something and you do not want the recipient to know who are in your email. -> i.e. Advertisement is one of them :).
