What do you mean "not working"?! You did not show your code which ***you*** failed to put at work.

Could be useful; my 5. However, I'm not sure it shows how to strip comments. I explain it in my solution, please see.

I'm not sure why you need to strip them, but the headers has simple format you can find here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html[^] by RFC numbers 2045 to 2049.

Basically, each header goes on a separate line with possible continuation lines. An empty line signals that comments are finishes and the next line will start the e-mail body. However, do you know how to deal with multipart emails with separate MIME declaration for each part? You certainly need this is you want to parse e-mails by your own code, but this is way more difficult than just the strip of the e-mail headers.
