CC is short for carbon copy. People whose addresses go in the cc field of an e-mail are people who get a copy of the e-mail even though it is not addressed to them. For example, if you are sending an e-mail on someone else's behalf, the person for whom you are sending the e-mail gets a copy.

BCC is short for blind carbon copy. The usage is the same as for cc, but the names and addresses in the bcc field are hidden from everyone receiving the e-mail.

Before personal computers were available, if you were sending a message in writing and you wanted it to look professional, you used a typewriter. If you wanted to have an extra copy of the letter you were typing, you would put two sheets of paper into the typewriter with a sheet of carbon paper in between. As you typed, ink from the carbon paper would make a copy of your text on the second page, which was called a carbon copy.

These stand for 'Carbon Copy' and 'Blind Carbon Copy'. All email addresses in CC and BCC will be sent the email you have written. The difference is that addresses in the BCC list will not be able to see the addresses of anyone else you have sent the email to.
