It is worth noting that there is nothing magical about
"Undisclosed-recipients".  This is just RFC-conformant group notation,
and you can use any similar identifier for your mail.  Group notation
is only a way of describing a list of addresses, *even if that list is
empty*.

Illustrating the group notation, I have an alias similar to this in my
.muttrc:
alias bobs    Bobs: bobjo...@example.org, bobsm...@example.org;

"Undisclosed-recipients:;" is just a degenerate form of the same: the
label is "Undisclosed-recipients" and the address list is empty.  You
can substitute "Newsletter-subscribers:;" or "Friends-and-family:;" if
you prefer.
