Some background for the mutt list:
Someone noticed when they upgraded mutt on a server that runs exim that
the Bcc: field wasn't getting removed anymore.
exim only removes the Bcc: field if it is dealing with headers to find
recipients (the -t option) since according to the RFC, some MUAs/users
may wish to leave the Bcc: in place (why they'd want to, I have no idea,
but the RFC allows for it).
It seems that sendmail does not allow this RFC compliant behavour and
removes the Bcc: header whatever.

I just upgraded mutt to 0.93.2i and the default has indeed changed.
It now does
/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem
and suplies recipients on the command line.
It leaves the Bcc: in.
This is broken IMO, the web page manual still says:
] Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt.
] Mutt expects that the specified program will read the message header
] for recipients.
Either mutt should give recipients on the command line and remove the
Bcc: header, or give all the information in the headers and use -t.
Why was the default sending to sendmail in mutt changed, anyway ?
