Re^3: using lookaround assertions to grab info

In reality, the email message is provided to me as a scalar, with all the newlines and all in it already.

And you want to split on those newlines, except where the next line doesn't begin with a letter. You want those lines that don't begin with a letter not to be split from the previous lines.

Maybe you should just try it and see what you get.
