courtesy copy

FYI email inclusion

A courtesy copy is a duplicate of a document or message sent to someone who isn't the primary recipient but has reason to know about it.

In email, the CC field serves this function—recipients listed there receive the message for their information rather than because action is required of them.

I'll send you a courtesy copy of the contract.
