I have a TB installation reading mail from a webmail set up. The files are in an inbox, 26,000 plus. They have also been transferred and readable in TB. They have the following format. Subject: [xxxxxxxxxx & yyyyyyyyyyyy zzzzzz ] New User Registration

Body text -

New user registration on your site xxxxxxxxxx & yyyyyyyyyyyy zzzzzz :


Username: selected_nickname9481

Email: username@provider.com


How can I extract or retrieve the "Username:" variables and "Email" variables in the Body text to set up a mailing list or Address Book. Thanks!

There are a few add-ons that extract addresses from message headers:
