Talk:Blind carbon copy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I found this here http://searchsmb.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,290660,sid44_gci756654,00.html
Eudora and perhaps other e-mail facilities, you'll see the abbreviations "Fcc" and "Bcc". "Fcc" is the same as "cc" or carbon copy - that is, send a copy of the message to the address you fill in. "Bcc" stands for "Blind carbon copy" which says: send a copy to another address...but in this case, don't indicate to the Fcc recipient that you also sent this copy. Since today the term courtesy copy is sometimes used instead of carbon copy, Bcc can also stand for blind courtesy copy.
is that correct
[edit] ISPs bouncing BCC recipients?
In the July 2006 issue of PC World (page 45), it is claimed that "some ISPs matter-of-factly bounce them" [referring to BCC addresses]. Has anyone noticed behaviour of this sort? Which ISPs have taken such an extreme measure, and under what pretenses? Porfyrios 16:52, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] snail mail
Since BCC serves the same function in snail mail, why is this treatment limited to email? Is there a parallel discussion I'm missing somewhere else? Fitzaubrey 06:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
