About This Feature
Overview
Default Display for CC and BCC is a mail compose setting in WPS Mail on Windows. It lets you show the Cc and Bcc fields directly in new messages so you do not need to expand them each time.
Core tasks include:
- Manually showing the Cc and Bcc fields in the compose window when you need to add recipients for a specific message.
- Turning on Always show Cc and Always show Bcc in sending settings so new messages open with both fields visible.
This is useful for team notifications, privacy-sensitive mail, and repeated multi-recipient communication in WPS email on Windows.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | You can expand the Cc and Bcc fields in the compose window and enable Always show Cc and Always show Bcc in sending settings. | Outlook support confirms that Bcc can be shown and stays visible for future messages after it is turned on; the cited page focuses on Bcc rather than a separate default Cc setting. | Gmail help confirms that you can add recipients in Cc and Bcc while composing, but the official help page does not describe a persistent always-show setting for those fields. | Notion Mail help confirms Add cc and Add bcc actions and shortcuts in compose, but it does not describe a default always-visible compose layout. | Adobe Campaign documentation covers sending a copy of messages to a BCC address for archiving, which is different from a personal compose-window default display setting. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS covers both temporary field expansion and saved default display behavior, so new messages can open with Cc and Bcc already visible. | Compared with WPS: Outlook officially documents persistent Bcc visibility, but the cited page gives less detail about a separate default Cc display option. | Compared with WPS: Gmail supports adding Cc and Bcc during compose, but the always-visible setup is not documented in the cited help page. | Compared with WPS: Notion Mail supports adding Cc and Bcc, but the cited help focuses on shortcuts instead of a saved default display setting. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on enterprise BCC archiving workflows rather than everyday personal compose-field display. |
| Official Source | — | Show, hide, and view the Bcc field in Outlook for Windows | Send or unsend Gmail messages | Notion Mail keyboard shortcuts | Send a copy of your messages to a BCC address |
Overall Conclusion
If you often need Cc or Bcc when starting a new message, WPS gives you a direct way to keep both fields visible in the compose window. Compared with the cited alternatives, WPS is more focused on everyday compose behavior instead of only temporary field access or archive-oriented BCC workflows.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Team notification emails | Admin staff and coordinators | Reopening the Cc field for every message takes extra time | Turn on Always show Cc for faster routine sending |
| 2 | Privacy-sensitive group mail | Users sending to multiple recipients | Some recipient addresses should stay hidden | Turn on Always show Bcc and fill the field directly |
| 3 | Contact-based recipient selection | Users who often pick recipients from contacts | Adding extra recipients takes too many clicks | Show the Cc or Bcc field and use the plus button to add contacts |
| 4 | Standardized new-message layout | Frequent internal email users | Recipient fields do not appear consistently across messages | Save the display preference in sending settings |
| 5 | Recipient review before sending | Users who need to verify recipient scope | It is easy to miss who is in To, Cc, or Bcc | Keep To, Cc, and Bcc visible for a clearer final check |
