Subject Line-the field at the top of an e-mail template in which the title or subject of the e-mail can be typed.

Copy Notation-Otherwise known as Carbon Copy (Cc) is a quick way to send a e-mail to many people without having to write several e-mails. There are two forms of Copy Notation, Carbon Copy (Cc), and Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc). The Difference between the two is that with Carbon Copy, it shows all of the addresses of everyone you are sending the message to. The Bad thing about that is if you are sending it to many different people, it can take up most of the screen. Blind Carbon copy hides the addresses of all the recipients (besides the address in the To: field). This does not clog up the screen, and it keeps people's addresses p
