IT stands for Blind carbon Copy. The message may be sent to someone that the recipient in the "to" of email cannot see.

Thank goodness someone actually knows that cc orignally stood for carbon copy - carbons went out years ago as all professional typists know. Nowadays we put "copy to" at the foot of each letter when we have to send a copy onto another recipient.

cc stands for cubic centimetres, Cocos islands, etc., etc.

I know that the original recipient of the letter (paper form not email) should not see the "Bcc: John Doe" written at the bottom, but I need to know if the recipients of the Bcc. should see it on his copy. Can anyone help me?

The person who gets the bcc will be able to see the original recipient, any of the cc'd individuals, and that he (or she) has been bcc'd. If there are others who are also bcc'd, each one gets his or her own copy - the other bcc'd people don't see each other's names.

Bcc stands for Blind Carbon Copy - those in the "To" and "Cc" lines will not see them copied nor will they be copied if one of the recipients chooses to "Reply All".

I think this thread has run its natural course and can be closed now.
