Cc bcc use in e mail

In email, "CC" and "BCC" are abbreviations that stand for "Carbon Copy" and "Blind Carbon Copy", respectively. They are used to send copies of an email to additional recipients, but with some differences in how the recipients are notified.

CC (Carbon Copy)

When you add someone's email address to the "CC" field, they will receive a copy of the email and will be notified that they are being copied on the email. The CC recipients will see the email address of the original recipient(s) in the "To" field, as well as their own email address in the "CC" field.

BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)

When you add someone's email address to the "BCC" field, they will receive a copy of the email, but their email address will not be visible to the other recipients. The BCC recipients will not see the email addresses of the other recipients, and the original recipient(s) will not know who else has been copied on the email.

Here are some scenarios where you might use CC and BCC:

Use CC:

• When you want to keep others informed about an email conversation, but you don't want to involve them directly in the conversation.
• When you need to send an email to multiple people who are all working on the same project or issue.
• When you want to keep a record of who has seen an email, as the CC recipients will be notified that they are being copied.

Use BCC:

• When you want to send an email to a large number of people, but you don't want to reveal their email addresses to each other.
• When you want to send a newsletter or announcement to a large group of people, but you don't want to create a mailing list.
• When you want to send a confidential or sensitive email to multiple people, but you don't want to reveal their email addresses to each other.

It's worth noting that some email providers, such as Gmail, may have limitations on the number of recipients you can add to a BCC field. Additionally, using BCC can sometimes be seen as spammy or unethical, so it's important to use it responsibly and only when necessary.
