Copy One after the other? I would heavily recommend a function like (defun getheader (header) ... ) returns the value of the header "header", or nil if it does not exist. > Where can I find the needed info? Well it is all in the manual - but you seem to have started out on a quite ambitious project. Maybe start with something simpler.
