The e-mail variables with Usage marked as "System" are not to be modified or inserted by the user. Other variables with Usage as "User" are optional but can be used anywhere in the template document. These variables can be used in the e-mail templates to override the default subject and also to specify the comma-separated e-mail ids for CC and BCC.
For example, a custom template may override the e-mail subject as below:
$EMAIL.SUBJECT=Approval Task Completion with ${PCTX.ENC.WORKITEM_ID}
$EMAIL.CC=john@progress.com, smith@progress.com, lisa@progress.com
$EMAIL.BCC=richard@progress.com, anita@progress.com
