Default Rule for BLANK "To" and "Cc" headers ?

XP Pro SP 2 / OE6 / IE7

Getting a lot of spam where the targets are evidentally on the Bcc:
header, because the To: and Cc: headers are empty.

Like to send that **** to the Trash. I thought it might be as simple
as creating a rule ' where To: contains "" ' but that doesn't seem to
be it.

Any suggestions, or known ways to specify this?

Default Rule for BLANK "To" and "Cc" headers ?

For Blank Subject:

Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words
Box 2 - Delete it from server, or Delete It and Stop processing more rules
to send it to Deleted Items.
Box 3 - Click on the blue "Contains specific words" and Add *one at a time*
a, e, i, o, u, y, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
Click: Options and change to: Does not contain....

{This is how it's been suggested to create the rule for a long time. I
include the entire alphabet so an e-mail with a subject like XP will not be
rejected}.

For Blank From: See rule #1, and
For Blank To & CC: See rule # 2 he

For Blank Message Body, Do the same as Blank Subject, but for the action,
choose: Delete It and Stop processing more rules, as the message has to be
download for the rule to realize the message body is blank.
