Mail cc
You're referring to the "cc" in email!
In email, "cc" stands for "carbon copy" (although it's no longer related to the old carbon paper process). It's a way to send a copy of an email to additional recipients, who may not be the primary recipient of the email.
When you add someone's email address to the "cc" field, they will receive a copy of the email, but they will not be the primary recipient. The primary recipient is usually the person you're addressing the email to, and they will receive the email directly.
Here's an example of how you might use "cc" in an email:
- To: John Smith (primary recipient)
- Cc: Jane Doe, Bob Johnson (additional recipients)
In this example, John Smith will receive the email directly, and Jane Doe and Bob Johnson will receive a copy of the email.
Using "cc" can be useful in several situations:
- Keeping others informed: You can use "cc" to keep others informed about an email conversation, even if they're not the primary recipient.
- Collaboration: You can use "cc" to involve multiple people in an email conversation, making it easier to collaborate and share information.
- Record-keeping: You can use "cc" to create a record of an email conversation, by sending a copy to someone who may need to refer to it later.
However, it's worth noting that overusing "cc" can lead to information overload and cluttered inboxes. It's generally a good idea to use "cc" sparingly and only when it's necessary to keep others informed or involved in an email conversation.
