If present, filter upon X-Envelope-To: or Delivered-To: headers.
Otherwise, check whether the last Received: header contains the
username, e.g.
Received: from ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [163.1.138.204])
by server.sensei.co.uk (8.8.5/8.8.2) with SMTP id EAA23934
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Fri, 26 Mar 1999 04:29:43 GMT
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and if it does, use that.
Otherwise there isn't much you can do; the recipient address was
discarded when the message was delivered to your POP3/IMAP mailbox.

Yes. Unsurprisingly, most of the mail which is sent to this list has
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as one of the recipient addresses (either
To: or CC:). Majordomo doesn't change the To: header when it
distributes a message to the list's subscribers.
