parse-mail-header

Arguments: text

text is a string that is the first part of a mail message, including at least all of the headers lines and the blank line following the headers. Given this partial text of a mail message, this function returns two values.

The first returned value is an assoc list of (header . content) items. Both the header and content are strings. Note that header names will most likely be mixed case (but this is not a requirement) so you'll want to use :test #'equalp when searching for a particular header with assoc.

The second returned value is a string that is everything after the headers (which is often referred to as the body of the message).
