seeing suffix if not LDA

Situation:

MTA supports plus-sign suffixing.

Procmail is not the LDA.

User is a customer of an ISP and cannot change the LDA to procmail.
User invokes procmail from ~/.forward.

User receives blind carbon but was not the only recipient on the site, so
there is no "for" phrase in the Received: headers (or the user may have been
the only recipient on the site but the MTA does not include "for" phrased in
its Received: headers).  As the piece came as a blind carbon, the user's
address does not appear in To: nor Cc: either.

Now, it is my understanding that procmail, invoked from ~/.forward, has no
way to tell whether the envelope recipient was user, user+foo, user+bar,
user+, user+-+, or whatever. 

Is that incorrect, I hope?
