At last the problem has been solved. Here is what seems to work for
me. Try it on your system, and see if it does what you need:
The following regular expression will extract the first e-mail address
in your message body. Note there must be at least 2 characters before
the @ symbol, and at least 4 characters after.
%SETPATTREGEXP='(?is)(.*?)\s(.*?:)*?(\S{1,}?\w@\w\S{3,}?)(\>|\s|\n)'%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%TEXT"%SUBPATT="3"
This does not guarantee that a valid address will be returned, but it
seems to be fairly resistant to things like examples of regular
expressions. Try it when replying to this message. The message I'm
replying to has a bunch of regexps with a bunch of @ symbols
everywhere. The output of the above macro on the body of the message
I'm replying to is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Again, to put the output in the To field, use:
%TO=''%TO='regexp'
where regexp is replaced by that long line above.

Thanks for writing,
