Thank you Ted, for giving me a solution.

I tried to remove "Bcc" header field instead of "Gcc" (as your example
do) but it doesn't work I still receive 2 copies of the email.

Do you know why ?

The reason for the change is that I prefer the way gnus handles "Gcc"
header, because in that case I don't actually receive new email in my
spool box (it's directly moved to my nnml:Inbox folder) and the mail
is marked as read automatically.

If I send a message by using 'compose-mail', I will have all drawbacks
I mentioned previously but that doesn't matter in this case because I
send emails this way much less often.

Thanks
