	Actually, we may both be taking the wrong tack at this problem.

	Based on this, I think that Resent-BCC: is appropriate.  Now
what I'm not clear on is _what_ is responsible for handiling the
destination - does Gnus/Emacs call sendmail with explicit delivery
addresses, or does sendmail pick out the Resent- headers and use those?
Looking at the sendmail guide for v8.7, it looks like sendmail _should_
be doing the work, but may not.  Anyone more versed in SMTP
implementation reading this?
