Popular Uses of the Internet and Web -- Email

Email has not changed much from the early days. Some enhancements such as being able to use HTML in the body of the email or live video.

This unit covered useful tips though such as Cc - Carbon Copy, Bcc -Blind Carbon Copy, and the use of the Signature tool.

Cc will copy the message to others besides the original person it was intended and will allow every one in the Cc including the main recipient who the email was sent to.

Bcc will send a copy of the message with out everyone being able to see who all received the message.

Replying to the message kinda fallows the same rules.

If you click Reply, your reply will only go to the sender of the original message. This is the email address that appears in the From: header line of the message you are replying to.

If you click Reply All, your reply will be addressed to the sender of the original message and all other recipients of that message. Your message will go to the address in the From: header and to all addresses in the To: and Cc: header lines — except for your own address.

If you are the recipient of the email, and the sender used BCC, then you will not see it there for you cannot “reply” or “reply all” to it.

    

       The signature tool allows you to setup a predefined signature that can consist of whatever the user wants, ie; Name, email address, web address, phone number, or some type of sub-message like a privacy statement.
