I use Balsa exactly the way you describe: mail to myself, bcc to  
several others. I just ran a test with over 200 bcc's, around  
7,000 chars total, and nothing's truncated.

To be specific, the test used `balsa -m  
"mailto:me@work?bcc=blahblah&bcc=...', not using an address  
book--perhaps the limitation is in the address book, or its  
interface with Balsa.
