I'm arguing that mutt should remove the Bcc: if the user doesn't want
it to go anywhere.

It does seem to be that the MTA should remove the Bcc: when the
message is sent to the primary recipients because otherwise the MUA
would have to send two copies of the message to the MTA (one with the
bcc: included and list recipients of the bcc and another copy without
the bcc: and the recipients listed as the to: and cc: people).

Urg. In general.
