You are mightily confused. ?Bcc headers are never sent by the MUA,
so there is nothing to preserve. All that needs to be preserved is the
message content and envelope. The "Bcc" header is a user-interface
element, it is not a part of the message in-transit.
Good grief, I was mightily confused indeed. Thank you.
It would not be a "Bcc" if the list of Bcc'd recipients travelled along
with the message...
Actually my model of the world was that the first SMTP server was the
one to strip them out, instead of the MUA!
Let me add the Duh to my original reply (which already explained about
BCC): how does it know it is the first SMTP server ?
Only the MUA knows it is the MUA.
