Correct.  Unless it happens to show up in the 'for' field of the
Received traceline that Fred k described.

If you 'mix up' mail to several usernames in the same mailbox, you won't
be able to tell how a BCC item was addressed unless the addy shows up in
the 'for' field.

The suggestion is that if that result is unsatisfactory, you can't mix
them up like that.
