What system actually does this?  Following the first method in Section 3.6.3 of RFC 5322 and a practice that goes as far back as RFC 822, Neither Sendmail nor GMail, for instance, retain the BCC field in the message.  Is this a matter of tracing how a message got exploded (say, when a mailing list was Bcc'd)?


sigh.  Haven't looked at the behavior of this in quite a few years.  Your note prompted my doing some testing and, alas, all the combinations I tried produced received messages having no BCC field.

Sad.

I noted why it is good to have the field visible to a BCC recipient. And why I think the ideal is that their copy show their address in it.
