The issue of who handles Bcc: header lines has again been raised, and I
am seeking opinions as widely as I can. The requirement is
straightforward: non-Bcc recipients of a message should not see the
addresses of any Bcc recipients, that is, their copies of the message
should not contain Bcc: header lines.

The MUA, however it is constituted, should handle all BCC processing, and the cloning of messages with and without the Bcc: header.

IMO, each Bcc: recipient should receive a copy with the Bcc: header for themself and only themself. No other copies should mention that Bcc: recipient.
