Add a CC, BCC, and Email Subjects
You can also add a cc, bcc or subject to emails customers send you. To do this type the address as you did already, but follow it with a question mark then type cc=anotheremailaddress or bcc=emailaddress or for a subject type subject=subject text. If you want more than one of these elements, like a cc and a subject, simply type an ampersand between them.I want to add a cc and a subject. My link looks like this.
