Default What is the CC area in memos for?

And for those that don't know, the BCC field is

Blind Carbon Copy

where you put recipients' email addresses to keep the addresses confidential
from other recipients of the email (recipients of the cannot see the
addresses in the BBC field). Some users need to use it!

"CC" is an acronym for "carbon copy". If you're young enough, you may
never
have seen carbon paper (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper) or,
for
that matter, the typewriter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter)
that
it was used with.

The CC field is where you put the names of people who are getting copies
of
the memo but aren't the direct recipients (those go in the To field).


i.e. CC = complimentary copy.
