You may want to ask, in passing, if you’re supposed to be cc’ing anyone on your emails. That way, if there’s a standard cc policy, they’ll spell it out for you.

My boss wants a cc for most contacts I have with contractors. For ‘significant’ emails to contractors, the cc includes his boss and sometimes other prople. It’s just to keep them in the loop because, if nothing else, they may be asked about it.
