Wouldn't the Bcc'ed email that arrived to the BTS be visible in the bug's

It's visible: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=989734;msg=27

Where? I don't see any "close" or "done".

Note that the "Done:" in the metadata at the top just reflects the
*current* status of the bug; it is currently also present at

   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=989734;msg=5

where the bug was obviously open.

The thing is, if you close a bug report via `Bcc: 999999999999-close@bugs.debian.org` then the mail that arrives at the BTS does *not* have the 999999999999-close@bugs.debian.org address in the email header but only in the mail envelope - that is, when connecting the sending MTA will tell the BTS MTA "RCPT TO: 999999999999-close@bugs.debian.org" and that's it. This will close the bug, but the address 999999999999-close@bugs.debian.org will not be visible in the email that's archived...

Not sure why people are using `Bcc: 999999999999-close@bugs.debian.org` in the first place. To hide that 999999999999-close@bugs.debian.org address from spammers? But then all the other addresses are visible...?
