Yes! Firstly you must have a recipe for *every* mail list, CC and BCC
you want to keep. Then add the following recipe just before your catch

:0
* ! ^TOyourlogname
| /usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +junk # or wherever

Notice the '!'. I missed this in the man pages several times and I was
specifically looking for it.

This works for me.
