You can create a rule based on BCC you receive, but it's not immediately obvious as you have to resort to the message headers. The steps are:

  1. Send yourself a BCC mail.
  2. When it arrives, open it up and display the "Properties" or "Message Options" dialog. You get to "Properties" under the File tab of the ribbon. One way to get to message options is to click on the small icon to the right of the "Tags" label on the Message tab of the ribbon.
  3. Scroll down the Internet headers until you find something that identifies it as BCC. In my case it was X-MS-Exchange-Organization-Recipient-P2-Type: Bcc
  4. Create a rule and choose "with specific words in the message header".
  5. Copy in the value you found for step 3.
  6. Save your rule, send yourself another BCC, and enjoy.
