Abstract
An e-mail option that allows a user to “cc: without attachments” any electronic mail (e-mail) message. Thus, a sender can send an e-mail message to a primary recipient that includes an attachment and, contemporaneously, send a copy of the original e-mail message to a secondary recipient without including the attachment. If there is to be more than one secondary recipient, the user can choose which, if any, of the secondary recipients are to receive the e-mail message with the attachment. In this manner, the sender can alert a secondary recipient, or designated secondary recipients, that a document has been sent, without needlessly including the attachment that is being sent to the primary recipient.
