Sending Messages Without Sending Attachment to CC Recipients

A

Is it possible to send an email to one person and cc 30 or 40 other people on
the same email with sending the attachment to all of the cc recipients?

I saw where another person has already ask this question and what followed
was a whole lot of discussion about exactly what "CC" means but no one ever
answered the question. I don't really care what it means I would just like to
know if you can do it and if so how?

No. You have to send two emails. AFAIK...

As far as I know, you can't do this. It's one email that you're sending. It
will go as is to everyone it's addressed to. If you don't want the
attachment to go to the people CC'd, you will have to send the email to them
separately.

For SMTP as your mail server and when you send your e-mail to the server,
you can only send ONE copy of it.

Your e-mail client compiles an aggregate list of recipients from its To, Cc,
and Bcc *fields* within its UI. For each of those recipients, it sends a
RCPT-TO command to the mail server. The is followed with a single DATA
command that sends the content of your e-mail (headers, blank delimiter
line, and body) to the mail server. So the mail server sees the RCPT-TO
commands to specify the recipients and a DATA command to know what it is
supposed to send to each recipient. Your mail server hasn't a clue and
doesn't care which recipient was in which *field* inside the UI for your
e-mail client.

If you different content get sent in the one DATA command per e-mail send
then you need to send a different message. Send one copy of your e-mail
with attachments to one set of recipients. Send another copy of your e-mail
without attachments to a different set of recipients.
