Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for preparing modified copies of outgoing electronic communications to secondary individual recipients and groups of secondary recipients. The system is referred to as a “Visible Carbon Copy” (“VCC”). Modifications can be made to the content of the communications and additionally to attachments included with the communications. Any number of differently modified copies can be sent to any number of secondary recipients or groups of recipients. The system can be interfaced into the users existing electronic messaging system or embedded into the electronic messaging system by the manufacturer thereof. In a first embodiment, the VCC is utilized with email messaging systems. In a second embodiment, the VCC is utilized with instant messaging systems. Additional embodiments allow utilization of the VCC with any type of electronic communication system that allows for messaging to one or more recipients.
