Thanks to all who responded.  I spent most of the morning trying to track
this down, and I finally got it (as in, dawn breaks over marblehead).  At
some point in time, I had made an entry in the Address Book of Thunderbird,
using the name of "Undisclosed Recipients", and my email address.  It
worked great, but I didn't expect TB to refer to the Address Book for the
Recipient info, instead of what was in the headers of the mail itself.
When I removed that AB entry, everything was well again, and I eventually
found that simply leaving the "To:" field blank would still allow me to
sent to multiple recipients by way of the "Bcc" field--TB automatically
inserts, "Undisclosed Recipients" in the "To:" field of the sent messages.

The only mystery remaining is, why was I only recently seeing this, when I
must have made that entry in the Address Book way back in some previous
version of TB--not that it matters.
