Hi,

I got problem in extracting email header like

From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
Subject: jjjjjjj

Actually i already fetch a the received mail using fectmail to a  
ForActionMailer.txt file. But the text is contain plain text and  
attachment. I already extracting out the attachment which is lmx file.  
Currently i want to extract out the header from ForActionMailer.txt file  
and append to the lmx file.

Is it possible to do so.

Thanks
