Looking in the headers, actually, I see a stamp for myself, which you put
in Bcc:, but I don't see a stamp for the list. Also, the header tag is
incorrect, afaik. It says:

Hashcash: 1:23:110324:aaron.[snip]

rathar than:

X-Hashcash: 1:23:110324:aaron.[snip]

The Python script I'm writing is a foreground script. I set it as my
"editor" in my ~/.muttrc. In turn, it calls Vim. After saving and quitting
Vim, it does its logic, minting all the tokens necessary for those found in
the To: and Cc: fields. Because it's being used as my editor, I'm really
not motivated to write the logic to send a mail for every Bcc: recipient.
Seems wasteful anyway. It's looking more and more like Bcc: will just be
ignored.

[OT]: I find http://2pennyblue.org, as well as the project on Launchpad,
but I can't find anything to download. It this something that can be
implemented with Mutt? What are the supported MUAs? All of the links on the
2pennyblue.org site don't exist yet.
