Here is how I do it: my `sendmail-program' variable is set to
"~/etc/dgnus.rc", which is a procmail script which contains (amongst
others) the following lines:

#!/usr/local/bin/procmail -m
[...]
:0c
* ^Bcc:
        {
        HFROM = `formail -XFrom:`
        HTO = `formail -XTo:`
        HSUB = `formail -zxSubject:`
        HCC = `formail -XCc:`
        HNEWS = `formail -XNewsgroups:`
        HDIS = `formail -XDistribution:`
        HFOL = `formail -XFollowup-To:`
        HREP = `formail -XReply-To:`

        :0bfw
        | echo; echo "---Blind Carbon Copy---"; echo; \
          if [ "x$HFROM" != "x" ] ; then echo $HFROM; fi; \
          if [ "x$HTO" != "x" ] ; then echo $HTO; fi; \
          if [ "x$HSUB" != "x" ] ; then echo "Subject:$HSUB"; fi; \
          if [ "x$HCC" != "x" ] ; then echo $HCC; fi; \
          if [ "x$HNEWS" != "x" ] ; then echo $HNEWS; fi; \
          if [ "x$HFOL" != "x" ] ; then echo $HFOL; fi; \
          if [ "x$HDIS" != "x" ] ; then echo $HDIS; fi; \
          if [ "x$HREP" != "x" ] ; then echo $HREP; fi; \
          echo; \
          cat; \
          echo "---End of Blind Carbon Copy---"; echo; echo

        :0
        | formail -Y -I"To: Blind recipients <sam@inf.enst.fr>" \
                -ICc: -IMessage-Id: \
                -I"X-Bcc-Trash: yes" \
                -I"Subject: [BCC] $HSUB" -aMessage-Id: | \
          $SENDMAIL -t
        }
[...]

This is IMHO a good thing to send Bcc: mail differently, because the
hidden recipient cannot followup by mistake and answer everyone !
