Bcc: will stymie all clients.  And while it's possible, it's very rare
that people bcc: the list. Again, my own estimate based on how often
my filters miss LUG mail (I filter on to/from/cc exclusively) is that
this happens with on average one or two messages per month, and I
think less.  To me, that's a small price to pay to be able to see the
subject of the message.
