Help help help ... or something like that

I have a burning question that needs to be looked at, and see if someone can give me an idea of a way to get the desired result. Are you ready. Here is my problem, I need to strip out of an mbox file everything but the body of the email, now to complicate matters this is an extremly large file, now seeing as it is a mbox file, and there for has a set pattern of information display, I figure there must be some way of striping the header information. Here is my code, which displayes the file, very easy and gives me the file size. <? $fcontents = file("/home/sites/projects/web/extractor/Main.mbx", "r"); $file_size = filesize ("/home/sites/projects/web/extractor/Main.mbx"); echo "<b>Size of this file is</b> - " . $file_size . "<br><br>"; while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) { echo "$line<br>\n"; } clearstatcache (void) ?> Here is the output resulting from the above code, I have only copied 3 listings. Size of this file is - 2915641 From Tue Aug 21 10:32:42 2001 Received: from killer2.nextmill.net [216.115.243.3] by thedigitallab.com with ESMTP (SMTPD32-6.05) id AB392F8015A; Tue, 21 Aug 2001 10:32:41 -0700 Subject: Kenwood Sovereign DVD Promo Sender: "alanlim@mail.com" From: "alanlim@mail.com" Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 10:32:41 -0700 To: "kenwood@thedigitallab.com" X-Priority: 1 X-MSMail-Priority: High Content-Transfer-Encoding: Quoted-Printable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Mailer: JMail 3.7.0 by Dimac (www.dimac.net) Message-Id: <200108211032115.SM01248@killer2.nextmill.net> X-RCPT-TO: X-UIDL: 298071585 Status: U Contact Us Subject: Kenwood Sovereign DVD Promo State:: CA Name:: Alan T.
