If I were trying to split an email on these CRLF's (to split the message into headers, body, etc), what would i split on? \n\n ? \r\n ? <QUOTE from the RCF> B.2. SEMANTICS Headers occur before the message body and are terminated by a null line (i.e., two contiguous CRLFs). A line which continues a header field begins with a SPACE or HTAB character, while a line beginning a field starts with a printable character which is not a colon. A field-name consists of one or more printable characters (excluding colon, space, and control-characters). A field-name MUST be contained on one line. Upper and lower case are not dis- tinguished when comparing field-names. </QUOTE> Justin French
