On BCCing

I wonder how BCCing came about. Was this invented by a wily and devious person? Is the point of this to let someone in on inside jokes? Or to do what we humans always wanted to do -- observe conversations without actually being in the room?

Personally, I wish we could BCC in real life. Things would be much easier if I could just plead "BCC" in uncomfortable moments -- like if I could be "BCC'd" on one of my friends telling someone off, or BCC'd on a fight between couples?

Is this where the idea for Harry Potter's invisibility cloak came from?

Yup, this is what I've been thinking about.
