Piping email to PHP - Missing actual email address

Question

I have an email address that pipes all messages to a PHP script. I know how to parse the contents, but I can't find an actual email addresses anywhere in the "to" and "from" headers. Is that something that just isn't available?

So what I'm receiving looks something like this:

To: Jane Doe, John Doe 
Subject: This is the subject.
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:07:25 -0500
From: Test User 
Message-ID: 
X-Priority: 3
X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.1 (phpmailer.sourceforge.net)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I only get the names, but not the email addresses. Does anybody have any thoughts on that?

Answer 1

Are you sure they're not there? Addresses tend to be enclosed in < > brackets, which would vanish if you're viewing this in a browser. If you are viewing in a browser, try viewing the page's source, in case those bracketed addresses are being interpreted as html tags.
