Yahoo Email?

When sending a email to multiple people, what is the difference between putting a bunch of email addresses on "to:" or putting them on "cc:" For example:





To: lala@yahoo.com,blabla@yahoo.com,haha@yah... hehe@yahoo.com, huhu@yahoo.com





OR





To: lala@yahoo.com


CC: blabla@yahoo.com,haha@yahoo.com, hehe@yahoo.com, huhu@yahoo.com





What is the difference? Thanks





P.S.. Srry wrong category. but I need to know.. cause i'm sending a email to like 15 people and I would like to find out.

Yahoo Email?
Okay,to start with, the first person your mailing to that you pick from your address book has to be in the "to" box, i.e." "them @ domain.com. After that you have "CC" and "BCC".


CC stands for carbon copy and BCC for Blind Carbon Copy. When you choose CC, the others will show in the email. If you choose BCC those addresses will not be others. Example:


To:blabla@yahoo.com CC:hehe@yahoo.com


BCC:haha@yahoo.com


When they receive your email, they will bw able to see that it was sent to blabla and will show CC: hehe but since haha was put in BCC, they wont show ono the e-mail.


Other people can't see who it was sent to when sent under BCC.


Hope this helps.
Reply:There isn't a difference. I've always seen it as one of those thing where you are sending an email to one person and then realize "Ohh wait so and so shoudl get it to" and you CC them. Like at your job (office) you send something to a person but you may also CC you boss, so your boss knows what is going on.


Now BCC is different BCC is a blind copy. If you BCC someone the people on the To: and CC: field don't see who is on the BCC.
Reply:No difference... unless the recipient has some sort of filter that differentiates where their address appears. (i.e. puts email "to" him in one folder and email "cc'd" to him in another.)
