Yes, I always bcc myself -- perhaps a bad old habit from dialup days ;<

However, only occasionally do I observe that the bcc's are not stripped.
I do not observe my bcc headers, even when I [b]cc myself through any of
my plentiful addresses.  Only on some MUA's, like my mom's old netscrape
setup, &c. -- there I have seen my bcc headers.

Finally, I found some reference to this via google; but, a solution has
not presented itself.

What am I missing?


P.S.  Ben, why do you do this?
