Ahh, yeah, damn email standards  :)  The RFCs say only \\r\
 are allowed, but
most MTAs etc do only \
 - a real mess <rant>and RFCs don't help much!</rant>

Good luck.. from what I've seen, parts of this extension are a bit rough. 
Mailparse, which should be stable in 4.3 (and has been moved to PECL) looks
promising.

As I've been rewriting the mailing list software for NYPHP, I wrote a fairly
robust class and set of functions for parsing emails.  It's still a little
rough and lacks some features, but has worked well in testing.  I've attached
it, and feel free to rip what you want from it, and better yet, see where it
flops and let me know :)

Best,

Hans
