CC/BCC in email means sending a copy of the email that you wrote to individuals not in the To: field. BCC means blind carbon copy so other individuals that receive the email will not know that you also sent a copy to anyone who was given a BCC.

When composing an email, just look for the CC/BCC field at the top. It is usually located right under or in close proximity to the To: field. To cc/bcc someone, just type their email in this field.

Thanks for your response now bear with me.you know when you get an email you can get loads and loads of other peoples email addresses on it well when i forward this to someone else how can I send it without all the address that came with it .do i make sense.maybe not.
You can just copy and paste the body of the email into a new email.


cc= carbon copy
bcc= blind carbon copy
harking back to the days when typists used carbon paper to make copies of letter etc, instead of photocopying or pressing print!

thanks for all your replies understand it now been emailing long time but just curious what they stood for thanks again
All the addresses that you want to send it to - put them all in the Bcc field. That way, every person that receives it will only see that it was sent to them - they don't see all the other recipients' email addresses.
