Anthony, Yes!, indeed. You pass the "age" test.
The bcc is a choice that an emailer can use when addressing emails; it is "blind" because the recipient's address is not disclosed in the email header. When it is used, then the other recipients on the list -- whether those on the "To" line, or on the "Cc." line -- do not see who is in the "Bcc" list, nor do they know if ANYONE is in the Bcc list. So, you could use the Bcc line for an address that you want the other recipients to be "blind" to: they can't see it. Sometimes when people send an email to a large list, they put the address list into Bcc ONLY, and do not use the "To" and "Cc." lines. This saves considerable bandwidth, since the header then bears only one address: the recipient who is reading the email (well, and of course the sender's address, too). It's a way, also, of keeping in touch with a large list, but keeping everyone's email address PRIVATE and un-disclosed, too. Now, to keep THIS post "on-topic" in a Zen forum, I offer the following rather forced poem. ;-) Blind carbon-copy; It's like The Ten Thousand Things: Many names in One. --Joe --- In [email protected], Anthony Wu <wuasg@...> wrote: > > Cc stands for 'carbon copy', and bcc is blind carbon copy.
