How to Cc someone without sending them the attachements

My boss and I are trying how to Cc someone in a message but to have the
attachments in the message not be delivered to that person, just the email
message itself. Is this possible?

One message gets sent to all the specified recipients.

The To, Cc, and Bcc *fields* shown in the UI for the e-mail client are
NOT used to define the recipients of an e-mail to the mail server. The
e-mail client may aggregate a list of recipients from those UI fields,
or it can use a separate list of recipients regardless what values were
entered in the To, Cc, and Bcc UI fields. That aggregate list of
recipients is used by the client to send a RCPT-TO command for each
recipient to the mail server. That list of RCPT-TO commands is what
tells the mail server where to send your e-mail. They are followed by
one - and just one - DATA command that contains the content of your
message. So *every* recipient gets the same one copy of your message
that you gave the mail server.

If you want different recipients to receive different e-mails then you
have to send them the different e-mails. Compose one copy of the e-mail
and send that to some of your recipients. Compose a different e-mail
and send that to the rest of your recipients. One way to do that would
be to send an e-mail without the attachment to one group of recipients.
Then resend the copy that got saved in the Sent Items folder, attach the
file, and wipe and specify a different group of recipients.
