Why is mail queued twice ?

If mail containing a Cc: or Bcc: header is sent to an address on a remote
system, it is queued twice via uux. I would have thought, that the transport
occurs just once, and that the MTA on the receiving end would then deliver
the message twice, once to the To: address, and once to the Cc: address.

This can be rather expensive in transport (modems etc.) Can most mailers
not read the incomming mail,  parse for these headers and act apropriately ?
Am I overlooking something ?
