Your statement of principle is correct, but your example was not.  Here's
an example of how it should (in standard business practice here in the USA)
work:

/* original message as entered */
To: Frank Adam
From: Jerry Schwartz
===== message body =====
cc:     Harry Openly, Mary Known
bc:     William Secret
...

/* first copy actually sent */
To: Frank Adam
From: Jerry Schwartz
===== message body =====
Copy to Harry Openly, Mary Known
...

/* second copy actually sent */
To: Harry Openly
From: Jerry Schwartz
===== message body =====
Original to Frank Adam
Copy to Mary Known
...

/* third copy actually sent */
To: Mary Known
From: Jerry Schwartz
===== message body =====
Original to Frank Adam
Copy to Harry Openly
...

/* fourth copy actually sent */
To: William Secret
From: Jerry Schwartz
===== message body =====
Original to Frank Adam
Copy to Harry Openly, Mary Known
...

Does that help?
