Exposing BCC information is something that I would never think about doing. I have seen too many lists where people use CC's to distribute and then someone else starts using that CC list for thier own purposes. Viruses also tend to harvest from such things, and we haven't even touched on privacy. I have certainly BCC'd things that would have probably caused me a great deal of embarasment, or might have caused someone to get fired or repremanded if exposed. Although you can expose this information using Declude, it breaks the BCC functionality and that's just not acceptable IMO.
I would suggest finding another way to block things from being forwarded and reported to AOL, or just deal with it.
