It doesn't mean there's a "Bcc" header. As other people mentioned
already most probably your MUA doesn't add this header based on its
purpose: _blind_ copy - so noone should see it was copied to someone
else.
Just save this message using system_filter (based on some other criteria,
e.g. "Cc" header instead of "Bcc") and look into its headers: are you
able to see "Bcc" header there?
