Do you use CC and BCC in email?

Postby mrki444 » 24 Jun 2020, 13:52

When we send email, next to Send to box for receiver email adress we have two more, CC and BCC.

CC is mark for carbon copy or just copy. It is useful when you want send email to boss and example to secretary or account. Boss can see you send to them mail to. Many people don't do that, than just put all emails in to Send to box.

BCC is blind carbon copy or black copy. It means receivers from Send to and CC box will not see copy went to receiver in BCC box. It is often used when you want have copy on backup email but you don't want anybody know back up email. Some people use it when they want include lawyer into comunication but in secret. Many people speak one thing without lawyer and other when they see lawyer is included.

Do you use those boxes or just put everything into Send to box?

I use both but only on rare occasions the bcc. If the information directly involves others, I'll cc to them. I only use bcc when dealing with people who have proven untrustworthy. Some in business are like that and a bcc is often the difference between success and failure.

Do you sometimes put just all people in Send to box even some should go into CC?

I have been using eMail for over 3 decades. I use CC often. I rarely used BCC. I know what it's for. But I seldom had a need to use that eMail feature/

Yes, I do and it used to rile a particularly lazy and nasty boss I had because it meant everyone knew that I'd sent him stuff - I used the CC as my paper trail of sorts. I also tend to use the BCC a lot because when you work in Customer Service/PR you send A LOT of communications - there's no way you could send individual emails all the time.

No, I usually put only the main recipient in the 'send to' and the others in cc and the silent party in bcc. The only time I put all in the 'send to' is when they all hold the same position in the matter. Maybe each is required to give a direct response. Otherwise it's addressed to one person and everyone else gets a copy for their records. So yeah, those that should go to cc that's where I put them.

Yes, I use both but only in my work email, when I send important documents that need to be recorded I always send it to another person using bcc. My boss often delete things "without reading" and these way I am secure.

I only use CC and it's only when I'm working. I've never used BCC.

When I'm sending private emails, I never use CC or BCC. I just put everyone's emails in the send to box :mrgreen:

Many people use all function if they comunicate with clients or boss. They often just negate what did they write or say.

You don't need admin privilages. Normal mails can also be use in some lawyer things or lawsuits so it is good have it in backup.
