To follow up my own post, it's clear that this behavior is caused by the 
following code in compose.php:

    if ($conf['compose']['allow_bcc']) {
        $f_bcc = _formatAddr(Horde::getFormData('bcc', 
_getAddressList('bcc')));
        if (empty($f_to) && empty($f_cc)) {
            $f_to = $f_bcc;
            $f_bcc = null;
        }
    }

Is there a reason for this besides just policy? Occasionally I want to 
email four people something but not share their email addresses with each 
other. In cases like this, I'll just put all four in the BCC and send the 
email. Currently, Horde silently moves them to the To: line and exposes the 
addresses.

imp allows us to send mail with an empty To: line if there is something in 
the CC, so it can't be a limitation of sending mail without a To:. Is there 
anything wrong with simply removing the code above?

Thanks
Jeff
