Why can we not CC using email merge from Word?

[Rednivaram]

I am aware that MS does not allow email merge from Word using Outlook (or
other email programs) to specify recepients in the CC list.

I would like to know why this limitation has been placed. I need to send
personalised emails to some of my colleagues, and at the same time copy their
seniors and HR.

I suspect that it is due to the fact that the mail merge utility pre-dates
email.

You can however do it if you use a modification of the process in the
article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at:
