Actually, that's what I expected. Unless you grab the mail at an earlier stage than most mail clients get a chance to see it, you never even get to know what was in the "Envelope To:" field. That's what puts the B in Bcc: (although if your filter looks at the Reply-To: header, it should catch it) Using a Bcc: address field to contain a mailing-list address is pretty odd behaviour, though - I just did it to point out that client filtering can be subverted if you try hard enough. This message is going to the list using a more commonplace Cc: address. It still won't get caught by filters that only look at the "To:" header. So, if *this* one ends up un-filtered, you should update your filter.
