Actually, I use Thunderbird/Icedove and if the BCC exists, I can see it 
(and print it) by default.

BCC is removed by the MTA and handled separately so that the To/CC 
recipients never see the BCC address.  So the BCC address will ONLY be 
present in the copy that the mail client sees when that mail was written 
by the user or the user was the BCC recipient.

In all cases I can think of it is entirely appropriate for the mail 
client to display AND print the BCC address if it is present.  It will 
just not be present if you were not the BCC recipient or the sender.
