High school typing. Oh my. The only thing I remember from
those ancient days were the sore, tired fingers after all those
boring excercises (jk..fd..jk..fd..jkjk..fdfd....<grin>) However,
I just checked my old "College English and Communication"
textbook (I knew those books would come in handy
some day <wink>) and it lists CC as Courtesy Carbon......
but then it is a verrrrry old book <grin>, oh well!
My apologies if I confused anyone.

I don't mean to be disagreeable, but 4 of the top mail programs
(Outlook, Netscape, Outlook Express, and Eudora Light) all handle the
BCC field just as I described.
