This is how it was in earlier versions of ELM, i.e. ELM 2.1 did
not change ELM wrt bcc. I developed the change in ELM so that bcc's
could be used regardless of the mailing agent. As I understand
it, we ELM developers were chartered with producing our version of
ELM as only bug fixes - no enhancements. Consequently this bcc
"enhancement" will be available in ELM 2.2.
