^TO expands to:

What sense does it make to have the 'Bcc' in there?
The Bcc never shows up in the header, right?

Some implementations interpret the spec to mean that those who are
Bcc:ed do get to see the Bcc: header (but the "real" recipients in To:
and Cc: don't). Not sendmail, though. And sendmail is pretty much
standard.

ed is the standard editor! ed is the standard editor!
