If you're sure the format is exactly that, then ...

$pat=array(
  '<SUBJECT>',
  '<MESSAGE>',
);

$marker='<FOO>';

$data=file_get_contents('dafile.txt');

$msgblks=explode('<TO>', $data);

foreach($msgblks as $blk) {
  list($to, $subj, $msg) = 
    explode($marker,preg_replace($pat, $marker, $blk));
  ...
  do__your_stuff($to, $subj, $msg);
  ...
}
