+ If a \*(lqDcc:\*(rq field is encountered, its addresses will be used for
+ delivery, and the \*(lqDcc:\*(rq field will be removed from the message.  The
+ blind recipients will receive the same message sent to the sighted
+ recipients. *WARNING* Recipients listed in the \*(lqDcc:\*(rq field receive no
+ explicit indication that they have received a \*(lqblind copy\*(rq.
+ This can cause blind recipients to
+ inadvertently reply to all of the sighted recipients of the
+ original message, revealing that they received a blind copy.
+ On the other hand, since a normal reply to a message sent
+ via a \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field
+ will generate a reply only to the sender of the original message,
+ it takes extra effort in most mailers to reply to the included
+ message, and so would usually only be done deliberately, rather
+ than by accident.
