I think Bcc should work, in the manner I described. The key idea
is that you process it at the *bcc* address, not the mailing-list
address. The mailing-list would just always toss out incoming
mime mail (from non-subscribers). But you've also have some kind
of procmail setup at the BCC destination, and that would add the
messages into the real mailing list. So you're doing the work
based on the email arriving at has-mime@dragonflybsd.org, instead
of trying to read the (non-existent) Bcc header.
[I agree that this may be more trouble than it's worth, but I do
believe it could be made to *work*, assuming someone wanted to.
I just wanted to clarify what my idea was]
