2. To send a copy to other recipients, hit “Cc & Bcc” to reveal the

“Cc:” or “Bcc:” boxes. Then enter the address(es).

Cc stands for carbon copy. Getting an email message where your
name is in the Cc line implies: “I sent you a copy because I thought
you’d want to know about this correspondence, but I’m not

expecting you to reply.”

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy. It’s a copy that goes to a third
party secretly—the primary addressee never knows who else

received it. For example, if you send your co-worker a message
that says, “Chris, it bothers me that you’ve been cheating the
customers,” you could Bcc your supervisor to clue her in without

getting into trouble with Chris.

Each of these lines behaves exactly like the “To:” line. You fill
each one up with email addresses in the same way.

3. Type the topic of the message in the Subject box.

It’s courteous to put some thought into the subject line. (Use

“Change in plans for next week,” for instance, instead of “Yo.”)
Leaving it blank only annoys your recipient. On the other hand,
don’t put the entire message into the subject line, either.
