Mr. Straw advised Mr. Battams,

| You'll have an easier time of it with the From_ header, since as
| extracted, what you're asking for it the first field - all the way up to
| the first space - no comments or anything else will be hanging around it:
| 
| :0
| FROMADDR=|formail -x"From "|sed -e "s/\([^ ]*\) .*/\1/"

Heavens.

 :0 # brackets enclose caret, space, tab; left side matches stingily
 * ^^From.*\/[^     ]+
 { FROMADDR=$MATCH }
