Correct meaning of "CC" and "BCC"
[edit]No. It's nice logic, but the history and overwhelming usage don't support you. You've managed to find one instance where bcc is glossed as "blind copies", but ignored the fact that right back to the granddaddy of all email RFCs, http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc733 in 1977 the "carbon" meaning is used, and this is continues in rfc822, rfc2822, and rfc5322. The original source of course is from typing, where the 1983 book "Typing, complete course" explains on page 23 "A BLIND CARBON COPY (BCC) NOTATION When you do not want the addressee to know that a carbon copy is being sent to someone else..."
