If someone bcc's a message to the foo list it should still contain the
ML headers, e.g. this list has "Sender: spambayes-bounces at python.org",
so if you filter on this part of the mail, procmail should still file it
into your foo mailbox, even if someone bcc's to the list.

For lists without an usable header this is a problem, and luckily I
don't know how much broken mailinglist-software exists. But at least for
those 25 MLs I'm subscribed to I can say: there's always an usable
header. :-)

Bye,
Alexander.
