cc stands for Carbon Copy and is a relic of the days when e-mail was first
developed, based on the actual carbon copies that were used with memos
(when a memo was sent to so-and-so, with a carbon copy going to another).
Of course, since there's no data loss in the electronic version, it's
functionally identical to the To: field except it's a flag that that
person is not the primary recipient (and of course filters may be
configured to respond differently to it).
Fcc stands for File Carbon Copy and is just a locally (to Pine) saved file
copy of the e-mail. So for example, my Fcc is set to outbox05, which means
that a copy of this message will be stored in my local folder "outbox05".
Additionally, the Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) is used to send a copy to
someone without anyone else knowing they received it. Addresses in this
field are not recorded in the header once it's sent.
The Lcc (List Carbon Copy) is the same as the Bcc except that it's
designed for distribution lists, so that it will automatically include the
full list name (from your addressbook) in the To: field (it's not an
actual address--just something to occupy the space and serves to identify
the message to it's recipients--and must end in ": ;" to designate it as
such). I think this one is specific to Pine, but Bcc is available on all
the programs and web-based services that I've seen.
