>From the fine manual:
       Note: the send-hook's are only executed ONCE after getting the initial 
list of
       recipients.  Adding a recipient after replying or editing the message 
will NOT
       cause any send-hook to be executed.  Also note that my_hdr commands 
which mod-
       ify recipient headers, or the message's subject, don't have any effect 
on the
       current message when executed from a send-hook.

You could replace $sendmail by a wrapper to add a BCC to your address.
Something like this(untested):
#!/bin/sh

hp=false
r=false
for i in "$@"; do
        if $r && expr "$i" : '.*hp'; then
                hp=true
        fi
        if [ "$i" == -- ]; then
                r=true
        fi
done

if $hp; then
        set -- "$@" "your hp address"
fi

exec sendmail "$@"
