Tell Cc from Bcc
Send one message to a crowd without handing their addresses around.
Cc sends a copy and shows that address to every reader. Bcc sends a copy and shows it to nobody.
Blind is the whole difference. Nobody on a Bcc list learns who else received it.
Key points
- Cc sends a copy and shows that address to every reader
- Bcc sends a copy and shows that address to nobody
What to remember
- Bcc is for readers who do not know each other.
- Cc shows the list. Bcc hides it.
