If a message has been delivered to B because A is in the To: or Cc: then you 
don't need any extra header lines because you can see it in the To: and Cc:.

If the message was delivered to multiple recipients because of Bcc: or because 
of a list (Postfix can't tell the difference) then you are snookered as far as 
I can see. You would need to get Postfix to put a list of all the envelope 
recipients in the new header line and that would break the Bcc: privacy, so you 
should refuse to do it.
