I guess there's a phrase like "copy me on --something---" in English. I need to understand what that means.
here's the scenario: There are 2 people called x and y.
X, on his mail, says that I should to direct my inquiry (which is irrevelant for this thread) to Y via mail, and when I do so, I'm suppossed to "copy him (X) on the message."
what does ...[text shortened]... irly good, but I cannot find this phrase anywhere. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps.

It appears that we're both right, here's my version on Wikipedia, I also found reference to it meaning carbon copy on answers.com - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_copy
Yours is also right according to Wikipedia. You crazy young folk and your crazy new fashioned lingo...

In letters, if you put "cc" on the bottom, it means a copy will be going to the person listed on the bottom. Now with email, you may want to send the original to person x, so he would be listed on the top line of your email box. Any secondary individual would go on the second line. They are in effect getting a "copy" of a note intended for person x. I assumed everyone in the second box would get a copy of a note I forwarded, but I have learned only the people in the top box would see anything you forwarded. I hope this helps!
