Can I CC without base email attachments?

[Drawyah]

I would like send emails with attachments, but have the cc people only get
the base message and no attachments.

Thank you in advance!

Not possible.

No, you'll need to send 2 messages for that.

In the original paper world when multiple copies were typed on a manual
typewriter using carbon paper between the copies "cc" stood for "carbon copy"
( yes "Websters Secretarial Handbook" does also call these carbon copies
"courtesy copies" ) and the recipient so designated got a carbon copy text of
the original message but normal office practice was NOT to send the
enclosures (now referred to as attachments), unless speciffically requested
by the sender, only the original "To" recipient got the full package since
there was only one original. If, in the MS Office world this is not the case
then what is the functional difference between "To" & "Cc" in MS Office? I
understand the distinction for "Bcc" has still been maintained to ensure some
protection for NOT displaying ALL recipients names. I have been searching
the online help and tutorials for the answer for quite a while before I
started exploring the forums.

You're welcome to create your SMTP client whose behavior is as you've
described. SMTP protocols are well documented. I suspect you could sell
enough of them to profit from the effort.

No, it's the SMTP protocol that dictates that 2 separate messages has to be
created for this. Not "MS Office" as stated by Grant B.

The CC is often used as "for informational purposes only." Which means no
reply or any other action is expected from you. The fact that the digital
world offers a solution of "there is only one original to be send so CCed
people will not get it" is a side effect which is positive for some and
negative for others.
