You can see who the sender was, the subject, if flagged for importance, whether the sender has requested a reply, what attachments there are.
- Subject Line – I would read the subject line and then determine for myself whether I would open this email or delete, block the sender etc;
- Sender – This shows who the sender of the email was, if a known sender, safe sender, or a sender who might have included potential viruses or unwanted spam.
Q.2 In what cases would you find it useful to use the ‘cc’, ‘bcc’ and ‘reply all’ functions of email?
C.C. -
I use C.C at work all the time. I reply to the emails and C.C. anyone whom I would think might deem the copy of the email to be of interest or use, although my reply is not directed at them, they can view the conversation and attachments, basically as a reference point. When you C.C someone, everyone who receives the email can view who also received it.
