E-Mails: What's the difference between CC and BCC?
Generally, e-mails are not complicated and don't require deeper knowledge. Nevertheless, it is interesting to clarify some common terms. We explain the difference between CC and BCC.
If you write a lot of emails, you will probably already know the difference between CC and BCC. For the exact meaning of the acronyms, this does not necessarily apply.CC and BCC: The small but subtle difference
The difference between CC and BCC is quickly explained:- CC stands for Carbon Copy, translated "carbon copy", which describes a classic procedure for a copy.
- BCC means Blind Carbon Copy. So it is also a copy in the form of another recipient, but without the knowledge of the main recipient.
- As a practical example: you send an email to person A and put person B in CC. Person A sees when receiving the mail that person B has also received the mail via CC. With BCC it is different: Here person B gets a copy of the mail, but person A cannot see this. In general, BCC recipients are not visible to anyone, not even to other people in BCC.
