I can't actually see much use for the bcc: header line.

That is, I think a transmitting MUA should accept a bcc: directive
(but not create a bcc: header, only an envelope rcpt to).
A receiving MUA could infer a BCC, I suppose (but I don't really care).
I don't think an MTA should be required to note a bcc: header in
any way. It might be a nicety, for dealing with broken MUAs (mutt?),
to provide the option of stripping it - but no cleverness needed.
