Lesson 7.3: Email Features – CC, BCC, Attachments, Signature

🧑🤝🧑 1. CC (Carbon Copy)

Everyone in CC can see who else received the email

📌 Use when transparency is needed
🕵️ 2. BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)
-
Like CC, but recipients cannot see each other’s email addresses
-
Useful when sending to a large group or when privacy is important
Example: Sending newsletters to many people without revealing their emails
📌 Use for privacy
