Hello All,
Two questions if I may,
First my problems are always caused from my lack of understanding regular
expressions, good books are hard to find in my part of Thailand so I'll
need to order one from Amazon. Any recommendations on regex books for
beginners? Something like the procmailex pages but for regx? I need
something with lots of examples.
Here's a good book on regex -- not necessarily for beginners though.
But I'd give it a try anyway. It has plenty of examples.

Second, I'm trying to grab an email address from the body and add it to a
file.
I think it should be something like this, but I cant get the Match usage
correct.
:0:
* ^From: Subject: *failure notice
* B ?? To: \/[ ]*
$MATCH >> $HOME/somefile
The "To: \/" I'm trying to grab and add is in the body, not the header.
Verbose does "Match" something on line two, but line 3 tends to make new
directories and call comsat.
I think this is what you want to do:
:0
* ^Subject: *failure notice
* B ?? To: \/[-_(_dot_)+a-z0-9]+(_at_)[-_(_dot_)+a-z0-9]+
| echo $MATCH >> $HOME/somefile
This recipe will append an email address to 'somefile'. It will also
trash the original email message.
