But when an offline donation is processed and the "Shoe" contribution campaign is chosen, no cc happens. Is this because it doesn't run through these page settings when sending the email?

  Is there not a way to simply set a CC, even if to say if no contribution page is involved, default the CC to bookkeeping? Even if it can't pick up the info on a page by page basis a default email is a better solution than no email.

  Coming from a different angle, perhaps you could use [CiviRules](https://civicrm.org/extensions/civirules) (along with the added extension [Email API](https://civicrm.org/extensions/e-mail-api) to enable CiviRules to send emails) so that any time a contribution is added, you could send an email to your bookkeeping address. (And thus you wouldn't need the CC or BCC for the contribution pages).
  
  Out of the box, you can set conditions for different financial types. Another option: if you didn't want to go to use CiviRules for *every* contribution, just the off line ones, you could create a custom field for contributions indicating off line, and then use a CiviRules condition of Field Comparison for your new custom field, so emails get sent via CiviRules only when the back office is filling it out.
