Every mailinglist I have ever used accepted more than one line of commands. If you end a line with a \ even multiline commands are generally possible. Looping over the email treating it as a list with delimiter chr(13) will indeed work (don't forget to strip the email from chr(10) as well). Loop all the way until the end or until you find a line with only the keyword END (for people who are unable to remove certain signatures such as from automated email scanners). Next concatenate lines ending in a \. Then replace every control and/or space character with a space. After that ListFirst(line," ") will return the command and the rest of the line will be the space delimited arguments.
