This doesn't really matter much in our configuration (or won't).
Zealous maintainers might want to forward this on, though.
I recently got myself another one of those wonderful mh-style bcc's:
// Received: from SOUTH-STATION-ANNEX.MIT.EDU by po10.MIT.EDU (5.61/4.7) id AA00537

// Apparently-To: <jhawk@PO10.LOCAL>

// ------- Blind-Carbon-Copy
and it was only then that I noticed it fails to set a To: field
and so MTA (sendmail) throws in an Apparently-To:. This is, of course,
an RFC82[12] violation.
It could very well add:
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
if there was a concern about multiple Bcc'd recipients knowing
who each other were. Otherwise it should, just list the blindly copied
recipients explicitly in the To: field.
