There is also the consideration regarding displaying. The MUA may want to inform the BCC recipient to the privacy nature of the message:

    NOTE: THIS IS A BLIND COPY TO YOU. THE OTHER RECIPIENTS LISTED IN THE
    TO/CC DISTRIBUTION ARE NOT AWARE OF YOUR RECEPTION OF THIS MESSAGE.

Query - For issuing this message, how do you determine that the recipient is getting a copy of the message without being listed in a To or Cc header due to being BCC'ed or being subscribed to a mailing list (or do you treat a mailing list received copy as a BCC'ed copy)?

I ignore the case of being listed in a To or Cc as a suppressed address (ie: Group-Name:add1, add2, etc. ;) since the existence of a group-name:; comment implies a hidden BCC list.
