places of spaces to show others that there *is* a space..such as From_).
Yes, that really is an underscore. Note that the ^TO_ "pseudo-macro"
is distinct from the "^TO" pseudo-macro.
2) The procmailrc man continues by showing the `^TO' macro..

I've been using ^TOuserid(_at_)foo\(_dot_)bar for quite a bit of my recipes.
But
recently I started to see a problem. The above states that ^TO covers
mail that has been Bcc'ed to the user; how does one know if one has been
Bcc'ed if the Bcc headers are stipped? Currently, mail Bcc'ed to
userid(_at_)foo(_dot_)bar does not match the above condition.
First of all, some mailers send Bcc's as a seperate message with a Bcc:
header. For others, depending on the exact list of address being sent
to and the MTAs handling the message, the recipient(s) of the Bcc may
show up in a Apparently-To: header (this may be considered a bug if it
happens).
