BCC handling

1996-11-04 18:12:38
I found this near the bottom of the procmailrc.5 man page. It seems to
indicate that Bcc'd mail should be caught and routed properly.

----------
MISCELLANEOUS
     If the regular expression contains `^TO' it will be  substi-
     tuted by `(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope
     |Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^a-zA-Z])?)', which should
     catch all destination specifications.
----------

However, THIS receipe:

:0
* ^TO(_dot_)*sheryl(_at_)aecinfo(_dot_)com
! aec(_at_)inforamp(_dot_)net

does NOT catch mail that is BCC'd to sheryl(_at_)aecinfo(_dot_)com(_dot_)  Why?

Tests reveal that To's and CC's get handled properly.  But BCC's do not -
possibly because the BCC info is hidden in the header so it is not properly
read by procmail (??).  It seems that any mail processor **must** be able to
properly handle BCC's.  What am I missing?
