Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

This is a feature request.
Some versions of Outlook misinterpret mails with only BCC recipients.

Mails sent which merely contain BCC entries can be parsed by:
Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3664
but not for example Outlook version:
Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510
which does not decode these mails correctly.

The the raw MIME format including all the headers are presented.
I'm not sure whether the To header must contain a valid address,

Evolution warns about an empty To: header invoking an Apparently-To:
header on some systems revealing the BCC recipients. Maybe a suggestion
and easy one-click option to add the sender as the To: recipient would
be a nice feature.

Even though the this might be a bug in Outlook, to users it seems like
an issue in our Free Software implementations.
