Syntax - (ANSI C)

// ** Define some variables.
char *sRawMessage, *sReturnValue;

// ** Pseudo Code. sRawMessage is the RAW message you're parsing.
// ** Usually created from the RAW POP message and/or read from file.
sRawMessage = "{RAW Email Message}";

// ** Call Subroutine
bsGetCustomHeader(sRawMessage, &sReturnValue, "date");


Remarks

The sample code above will return the value of the "date" header from the email message. You can retrieve any header you wish with this subroutine, not just the "date" header value.
