When the user provides only bcc recipients, then imp creates a mail  
with an empty "to: " header, ie. it adds the header with an empty  
header body field.

Apparently this is not compliant with RFC 4322, which defines the  
syntax of the header as follows:

to              =   "To:" address-list CRLF
address-list    =   (address *("," address)) / obs-addr-list

where the address-list has to contain at least one address. For an  
empty to: the mua is supposed to generate a message without to.

we believe that this issue is currently causing the affected emails to  
be rejected by gmx/web.de
