My understanding is that ALL mail (with the exception of "abnormal
conditions" such as permission denied, etc...) that might be sent is
triggered by a scrip and handled by one of the templates.

Thus, whether mail gets sent when you fill in the CC box depends on if
you have an appropriate scrip.

I think these are "other recipients", and thus not handled exactly the
same way as (regular) Cc's.  However, it is still done via a scrip.

The latter.  The default installation does not have (or did not) a scrip
that covers "on create notify ccs ...".
