FWIW, I can't remember seeing "CC:" or "BCC:" in an email message
whereas I've seen "Cc:" and "Bcc:" many many times. So my reaction to
the above line would be "Huh? Why didn't they write `TO` to
be consistent?"
I understand "CC" arose as an initialism whereas "To" is a word, but
nowadays I consider the "Cc" of my email messages to be a word more than
an initialism (IOW it means "CC" more than it means "Carbon Copy").
