I agree, I remember how confused I was in my early BBS days, trying to
understand what "CC" was. CC was also a email system, to make things
worse.

Understanding "CC" is even worse for people like me that don't talk
English native, looking it up says "carbon copy", which didn't make
sense to me, what did carbon had to do with my email?
 
I think your proposal is good, "Copy to:" should at least be
understandable, the concept of BCC is still a mystery to many people,
but maybe "Blind copy" would help a little :=)
