I tend to agree that easy access to the envelope recipient would be
nice.
Your suggestion of parsing headers to get it doesn't work, though; the
BCC header is gone by the time the mail arrives at its destination,
and regardless of that, there's no requirement that the envelope
recipient ever appear in any of those, or any other, message header.
