I send a message from my work machine running mutt to me at mydomain.com

I also bcc that message to me at workdomain.com

I then retrieve the message on my home machine using fetchmail, filter
it with procmail and open it in mutt

Viewing the headers, I can see 
Bcc: me at workdomain.com 
and this is on the mydomain.com address.

I only noticed it because someone pointed out to me that my messages
were coming complete with Bcc fields.

I would guess that possibly the listmanager is removing the bcc field,
so I have included you in this reply and bcc'd it to
freebsd at penguinpowered.org.uk
