Thunderbird supports adding BCC to a fixed address.  I pair it with two lines
right after the maildirmake commands in the mailbox creation script:

   printf './Maildir/.Sent' > .courier-sent
   chmod u=rw,go= .courier-sent

In addition, xxx-sent extensions can only be addressed by logged-in mailbox
owners.  The latter check is done using maildropfilter (aka localmailfilter).

Users choose what they like better.  BCC has advantages and disadvantages, with
respect to "FCC":

* transmission time is not doubled by long attachments,
* there are unread messages in .Sent,
* global changes to the messages, e.g. DKIM-Signatures, are in place,
* private header fields, e.g. BCC and X-Mozilla-Draft-Info, are lost.
