Somewhat nintuitively, it's the latter "Dcc: address, address,..." that
duplicates what most mailers do with Bcc.
If you use MH's Bcc: header, the recipients get the message with
additional text that tells them they've received a Bcc. Which is sort
of nice, but fairly unique behavior.
When sending to a group, as for an event invitation, I usually use a
Dcc header, with myself in the To header, to match common (in my
experience) practice. If just copying my wife on something I'm
addressing to someone else, I use Bcc which makes it unambiguously
clear she wasn't a disclosed recipient.
