That's intentional: from LYMail.c:

            /*
             *  Seek and handle cc=address(es) fields.  Excludes
             *  Bcc=address(es) as unsafe.  We may append our own
             *  cc (below) as a list for the actual mailing. - FM
             */

Presumably this is meant to protect the user from being tricked into
doing something he/she may not even be aware of, that oh-so-popular
sport with other browsers.
