  • Subject: put the subject of the message here, e.g., Hello
  • cc: stands for courtesy copy, if you want the message to also go to another email address
  • bcc: stands for blind courtesy copy, if you want the message to also go to another email address, but the original person to whom you're sending the message won't know about that (that's the "blind" part).

If you're new to email, send a message to a fellow student. Get the email address by asking your neighbor. Then, send a couple of messages back and forth, so you see how this works!
