IETF Drops RFC For Cosmetic Carbon Copy

paulproteus writes "Say you have an email where you want to send an extra copy to someone without telling everyone. There's always been a field for that: BCC, or Blind Carbon Copy. But how often have you wanted to do the opposite: make everyone else think you sent a copy to somebody without actually having done so? Enter the new IETF-NG RFC: Cosmetic Carbon Copy, or CCC. Now you can conveniently email all of your friends (with a convenient exception or two...) with ease!"

actually, the 'CCC standard' allows obfuscation of Ccc addresses when they get merged with CC. Option is left up to the implementation as obviously both have drawbacks. No obfuscation means reply all would show the CCCed person they were left out, obfuscation would allow the CCed person to know who was CCCed if they looked closely or hit reply all.
