You would probably need `search-forward-regexp' and
`match-string'. The code below will not work but it will give you an
idea on how to do it:
(defun blah ()
(let (adresses)
(while (search-forward-regexp "\\(REGEXP-MATCHING-EMAILS\\)" nil t)
(setq addresses (append adresses (list (match-string 1)))))
adresses)
Matching e-mail addresses using a regexp can be tricky, if you want to
support all variants (with `+' before the @ and such).
