Translation:

  A post which was BCC'ed to a list.

Arguable.  It really depends on your view of BCCs and lists, and whether
you consider them a Good and Useful thing, or an annoyance of the
devil.  cf followup-to in netnews.  

  The principle of minimum invasion (ie lists should dick with headers
  as little as possible) says that BCC'ed posts should stay BCC'ed.

  The principle or minimum surprise likely says (there's debate) that
  some version of a reply (and RFC 2369 probably doesn't count) should
  enclude the list.

You get to pick.
