How to Indicate a Carbon Copy Was Sent
The carbon copy feature in email allows you to send an email to your recipient, while also letting another person know the communication that is going on. This can be great for accountability purposes in the workplace or to provide an update to a person who is not directly involved in the matter. When you send the carbon copy, there is a way to indicate to the person you are addressing that you have sent a copy of the message to another person.

Tips & Warnings
Be sure that you do not enter the email addresses into the "BCC" field, which will blind carbon copy the message. By doing it blindly, the main email recipient will not know that you have sent a copy of the message to another party.
