Extract Data from email Form

I have over 1000 email forms which contain a valid email address. The data looks something like this:

Name: John Citizen
Phone: 609.333.4567
email: happyfeet@eatfood.com

etc

The mail is in Entourage. I dragged some of the emails into the extractor, and it did not find any email addresses. I am testing ver. 3.4.1 (US) on OS x (10.5.8).

Will this program extract email addresses from this form data in Entourage. If so, how?

Have you tried to save those messages to separate files and drag and drop them to the application window?

Imported the messages to Apple's Mail program, and then was able to save multiple mails from that program into a single text file.

Although some of the email addresses have a ' in front of it.

You can remove that with free TextWrangler.

Or just replace ' in Excel find and replace

But I will look at Textwrangler (if it exists for OS X)

Yes, TextWrangler is a Mac OS X software.
