leaving out Bcc.  In fact, you need not send it to the To: or Cc:
recipient(s) (otherwise, forwarding mail would be quite embarrasing!)
Sendmail may add Date:, From:, and Message-ID if you don't supply them;
however, I don't think it will *ADD* Bcc: -- it can't tell this from
a forward, after all.

Some installations insist on adding something like "Apparently-To:",
don't they? As far as I can tell, Apparently-To: is specifically added
at the receiving end, though.
  (Are there any systems which actually tag outgoing BCC:s? Hardly
think so, but then in the light of what Microsoft has the gall to
market as an SMTP server, I'll believe anything.)
