Question

Compose one paragraph (three to four sentences) explaining the difference between a courtesy copy and a blind courtesy copy (this is explained in Outlook Module 1 chapter reading).

Answer 1

Courtesy copy and a Blind courtesy copy.

Courtesy Copy is also known as Carbon Copy (CC), similarly Blind Courtesy Copy is also known as Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc). We often find these abbreviations in the e mails. In CC we can send the same copies to a large group of people, and the list of copies will be visible to all them. Say for example: if you CC an email to [email protected] and [email protected] then both abc and xyz will get to known that the email is received to the other person as well.

Bcc on the other hand, list the multiple address only to the sender. Only the sender can view the recipients of Bcc. For example: If you send a Bcc to five recipients, then none of them will known that the same copy is send to other recipients as well except the sender. The Bcc list is secret, while Cc’s list isn’t.
