Html.Label takes a field to display a <label> tag for.
It's reading your string as a nested property, and printing the name of the innermost property.

You just want to write ordinary text:

@Model.CopyToEmail

You can also call @Html.DisplayFor(m => m.CopyToEmail).

Can you please look at the model OR your data source to the view to return the property value: i.e. like, Html.Encode(Model.Email)

Using strongly typed views (passing viewmodels to views, and not using ViewBag/ViewData) is good practice, and allows you to use generic overloads of html helpers. Here is your example rewritten using strongly typed html helper

Html.LabelFor(model => model.CopyToEmail)

And label in html is not there to display data, it is there to label property being edited. You could use [DisplayAttribute] on your property, or use this overload

public static MvcHtmlString Label(
    this HtmlHelper html,
    string expression,
    string labelText
)

//

Html.LabelFor(model => model.CopyToEmail, Model.CopyToEmailLabelText)
