In the case I'm talking about: I created (inside mutt) the Bcc: header
myself, sent the message regularly, changed later one of the headers
(the From:, to be specific) and re-sent it.

original:
    From: hs@???
    To: <a mailing list>
    Bcc: <a private address>


Then, after understanding, that the original won't get to all the
intended recipients (because the list doesn't handle DMARC well), I
changed the headers:

    From: hs@???
    To: <a mailing list>
    Bcc: <a private address>


and re-sent it.

Hm. Yes, at this place I could have removed the Bcc, I was in mutt's
header editing mode. But I didn't expect mutt sending the Bcc header.
*But* I expeced mutt using the recipients from the Bcc again.
