Difference between a CC email and a BCC email.

A CC email is also known as a Carbon Copy, meaning that the email stated after CC will receive a copy of the email. When you send a message to more than one address using the CC compartment, both the original recipient and all the recipients of the carbon copies see the To and CC compartments including all the addresses in them. BCC emails are different than the CC ones as in it does not show the recipients email address. These emails are called Blind Carbon Copies for that reason. The BCC email helps you deal with the problems created by CC. As it is the case with CC, a copy of the message goes to every single email address appearing in the BCC field. The only recipient address that will be visible to all recipients is the one in the To: Compartment. So, to make so you are anonymous you can put your own address in the To: compartment and use BCC exclusively to address your message.
