Title: Re: Apple script: How to isolate an email address?

This snippet will extract all the addresses from the email:

set theMess to item 1 of (get current messages)
set theWords to every word of (get content of theMess)
set theAddresses to {}
repeat with x from 1 to count theWords
    if item x of theWords is "@" then copy (items (x - 1) thru (x + 1) of theWords) as text to end of theAddresses
end repeat

‘theAddresses’ will contain a list of all the addresses.

If the email always has the same format as your example you can simply get ‘item 3 of theAddresses’.
