Actually I didn't understand your above reply but worked it out anyway...

For anyone reading this later...

All you do is put anything in the to: field to begin with. Then after
editing your message add the real alias to the bcc: field and then edit out 
the to: field with either nothing (that is make it blank) or TheGuys:;
In the first case mutt adds "undisclosed recipients:;" in the to:
field

ps: The first behaviour mentioned in my original post can be obtained by a 
shell script using mailx so it sort of "can" happen :-)
