Then why did you relegate the boss to Cc:?  People from whom a response 
is important belong on the To: line.  The boss, either not on vacation 
or back from vacation, could very logically look at your message, see 
that [s]he was merely carboned, and figure that you just wanted him/her 
to read the message and that that would be enough; that you would 
probably not find a reply from him/her unwelcome, but you weren't 
expecting one.

IMConsideredO, Cc: is for advisory copies to peripheral parties.
