Oh, I see.  You were Bcc'd on a message, but then did a wide reply that
revealed to the other people in the conversation that you were party to
the conversation, and you didn't want to do that.

Well, first of all: Mail agents are supposed to strip the Bcc header
before sending the mail, so you shouldn't have gotten that Bcc header.
So that's a bug in the software that sent you the mail.

But the question is: If you're not listed in To/Cc in a mail, and you do
a wide reply, should Gnus warn you about what you're doing?  I don't
think so: It's a very common situation, especially with mailing lists.

So I don't really think there's anything here to be done on the Gnus
side, but your my-check-bcc sounds nice for your specific use case,
though.
