I'm not surprised in the least.

I'm wondering if this isn't a case where it isn't really a 'send' in the nmh
sense, but a 'forw -mime'....

That *is* what the Principle of Least Surprise and the applicable RFCs
say should happen.

It's always possible that exmh is misbehaving. I'll look into it later this
evening. A quick perusal shows that there's nothing in the exmh code that
behaves differently if a bcc: is found. So the problem is more subtle than 
that...

(And a quick test with nmh showed something I don't understand on *that* side
of the fence too...)

One quick question:  If using command-line nmh to do a bcc: works, can you send
me the send: and post: entries (if any) from .mh_profile (feel free to sanitize
passwords/etc), and the release of exmh and nmh you're using?
