I tested it, out of curiosity. It works!

Here's my rule (client side rule):

Apply this rule after messages arrive
display "a specific message" in the New Item Alert Window
except if my name is in the To or Cc box

I sometimes miss that I'm receiving an email as a blind copy. I was
hoping to create a rule to alert me when I'm in the BCC field. However,
when using the rules wizard, I only see the options regarding my name in
the To or CC field. Is there a way to create this that I may be missing?

Create a rule that alerts for everything, but add the exception "except if
my name is in the To or Cc box". This should alert you only when you were
Bcc'd

Just want to say there's an unwanted result. If the incoming mail is sent to
a distribution group and you're a member of the group, the rule gets
triggered no matter where the group name is entered into (To or Cc).

I just received an email sent to the IT group and I'm a member of it. That
rule I created earlier alterted me.
