EH> My question is, if an email is sent to multiple parties and even if one
of these is gmail, but should those who are on BCC (the non gmail ones)
still somehow be visible to gmail?

On reread, I realize I should have clarified even further:  Even if one or
more recipients in "to", "cc", or "bcc" are using Gmail, Gmail has no way
of seeing the other "bcc's" as long as Gmail/Google isn't involved at the
SMTP (sending) stage.
