You can also use something like this:

d = """Received: from localhost6.localdomain6 (unknown [59.92.85.188]) by smtp.webfaction.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 05B332078BD1 for <[e-mail]>; Fri, 26 Aug 2011 04:59:36 -0500 (CDT) Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Test subject100 From: [e-mail] To: [e-mail] Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 10:01:39 -0000 Message-ID: <[e-mail]6> X-Mailer-status: false X-Mailer-recipient: [e-mail]"""

if 'X-Mailer-recipient:' in d:
    d.split('X-Mailer-recipient:')[1].split()[0]
>>> [e-mail]
