That really stinks then. I've noticed that neither Imail, Hotmail, AOL, nor
YahooMail add the headers necessary for procmail to process BCCs. That's a
rather large chunk of the Internet Mail population. Anyone know of another
work-around other than just not using procmail?

So is it possible to work with BCCs? If an email is sent to a recipient as

There isn't one in the man pages. Have you read them?
'man procmailrc' lists the regexp macros.
^TO and ^TO_ are the only procmail defined regexp macro which check for
"Bcc" and "(X-Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To" (in part, not a verbatim
quote of the regexp).
If your MTA doesn't add headers for mail which is being delivered for a BCC
(such as an X-Envelope-To header), you're generally going to be out of
luck. It certainly isn't procmail's fault -- if the info isn't part of the
message, you'll be hard pressed to determine it with any other tool you
might try to use.
There is NO GUARANTEE that procmail will be able to detect a BCC.
