Something about Email you might not know of !

What is the difference between CC and BCC?

Cc stands for carbon copy which means that whose address appears after the Cc: header would receive a copy of the message. Also, the Cc header would also appear inside the header of the received message.

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy which is similar to that of Cc except that the Email address of the recipients specified in this field do not appear in the received message header and the recipients in the To or Cc fields will not know that a copy sent to these address.

So next time you want to hide certain contact(s) when sending out an email to more than one person simply use the Blind Carbon Copy feature instead of plain CC.

Great huh !
