That seems sub-optimal, at least for me...

We actually want to let the user *select* an email address from the
config file, and then automagically set the bcc: flag as
appropriate. Without that, I'd end up bcc'ing all of my mail through my
home address, which would end up sending work email unencrypted to my
house. Sub-optimal

You can set everything in the message-mail argument list:

(message-mail nil nil '(("bcc" "keith.packard@intel.com") ("from" "Keith Packard <keith.packard@intel.com>")))

Alternatively, we can hack up message mode so that when the From address
is set (using completion from the notmuch config), the Bcc line is copied.
