The Cc (carbon copy) line is automatically included below the To line in messages. When you open a new message or reply to a message, you should see both To and Cc. 

  1. In classic Outlook, go to Home > New Email.

  2. Add at least one recipient to the To line.

  3. Add one or more recipients to the Cc line. 

Tips: 

  • To send an email, you need at least one email address in the To line. You can then add email addresses to the Cc line. People on the To line and Cc line will be able to see the other recipient's email addresses.

  • To send an email where recipients see only who is in the To line, use Bcc (blind carbon copy). If you add your own email address in the To line, and everyone else in Bcc, the other recipients only see your address. For more info, see Add Bcc to a message.
