Munging headers, even for our own private copy, has to be a bad idea--I 
could see being very confused, coming back to a mailbox months later 
and seeing a `To:' header for a recipient I though was a `Bcc:' 
recipient!

Personally, I'd like just a single copy, and having it fcc'ed when the 
last version has been sent and the outbox is being cleared would suit 
me just fine.
