Well, the whole idea of BCC is to hide the addresses, so I'm
not surprised that it fails to include it on a forward as well.
If it's just proof you need, I'd be tempted to take a screen
shot of your computer screen when you're looking at the message
showing the BCC list. This article might help with that:
