Update: I have found a way to parse it (below in chicken scheme).
(require 'regex)
(define (get-msg-line msg-line)
(if (string-match ".*:.*" msg-line) ; when there is a path to check
(set! msg-line ; strip (from /...$
(cadr (string-match "(.*) \\(from /.*\\)" msg-line))))
;; Finally return the path only
msg-line (substring msg-line 5))
If anyone sees any problems with it let me know.
cheers,
/BD
