Hi,
   What should I do such that the mail-ids I am entering at "Cc:" will not
be sent along with the message.  (I am using Pine 3.96).

There is a header called "Bcc," which stands for "Blind Carbon Copy" that
you can use for that.  You can get the header to appear by selecting the
"Rich Headers" command while editing anything in the header section of
your message (IE while typing in the Subject)  The command for rich
headers should be listed at the bottom of your screen while in these
sections.  If you can't find the command, just keep looking.. It's there.
Whatever addresses you put in the Bcc field will recieve the message, but
will not see the other recipients of it.

With your cursor in the header area type ctrl-r to reveal the "rich
headers".  Then put the addresses in the Bcc: field.

yes, as long as you are running  a rfc compliant smtp server .. (at least
I'm fairly sure that Bcc is in the rfc.if it's not, well, flame me to a
crisp :) I'm too lazy to go check it myself) if you don't understand the
first sentence, then don't worry about it, the answer is most likely yes
(like in 99.99999% of the cases I know of..) If you're a really paranoid
sort, test it by Bcc'ing yourself about four times and look at the
headers, if you don't see it, no one else will.

Correct.

The actual transport of email relies upon "envelope" information and not
"header" information.  When pine, or any other user agent, contacts the 
MTA to start a message on its way it will send all the receipient
information in the "envelope" but will not include it in the headers.

In fact, some user agents will take 2 transmissions to accomplish.
