I sent an email to several addresses, that I put in the "Bcc" field. Now I want to send another email to the same addresses. How can I do this? I tried "reply", but it replies only to me—I didn't find a "reply all" option. I tried copying&pasting but got strange errors about "unidentified addresses".

The only way I know of doing this is to limit your search to filter out cases in which you don't want to see that email address. This should at least remove a lot (not all) of false positives from your search results.
-to:foo@bar.com -from:foo@bar.com -cc:foo@bar.com "foo@bar.com"
What you're doing is filtering out foo@bar.com from the to, from and cc fields. What should be left is searching for "foo@bar.com" in any remaining fields.
Again this isn't 100% reliable, but might help you out.
Short answer
It's not possible to apply filters to outgoing messages.
Alternatives
- Apply a label to your outgoing messages before you send them.

If you sent the email using a mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc) then I believe you are out of luck as most of these strip out the BCC fields upon sending. If you sent it from the Gmail site, then you can recover the addresses.
To do so, go to the Sent folder and select the message, then click the dropdown arrow in the bcc: field location.
The popout window this provides will include all the addresses in the BCC field. You can copy these and then paste them into a new email to send to them again. Because you are copying from a "display" field, not truly an email field, you may unintentionally include extra characters or non-email words (display names, etc). When you paste into a new email, check to see which Gmail has recognized as true email addresses and remove or correct any that it is unable to recognize. This should prevent any further "unidentified addresses" errors.
