It is. At the time that the issue came up, it seems like dozens of
different versions of sendmail docs were quoted. An example from the
sendmail man page that comes with Digital Unix says:
-t Reads a message for recipients. The To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines will be
scanned for recipient addresses. The Bcc: line will be deleted before
transmission. Any addresses in the argument list will be suppressed;
that is, they will not receive copies even if listed in the message
header.
And so do lots of other instances of the sendmail man page.
The problem is that most (all) instances of sendmail did not behave in the
documented fashion.

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
