Hi George,
This challenge is possible but a bit tricky
First you need one GroupBy Heater for group all email rows to one row. To determinate each email we need an additional .NET Script Heater and the following little script.
The Script checks each line. If the line contains the string "From:" then we have a new group or a new email.
Second we need to fill the columns with the certain field parts. For this you have to use for each column you want to export the IF-THEN-ELSE Heater and the String Split Heater .
The Split Heater splits only each line into 2 Parts using the delimiter ": "
e.g. Email Address: hottie@hot.com
First part: Email Address
Second part: hottie@hot.com
In the IF-THEN-ELSE Heater you have to specified for each column a condition like this
** Email Address
Note: ** is the InString operator!
If the condition match the Value goes out from the IF-THEN-ELSE Heater to the column "Email Address".
To demonstrate this I have made an example; please have a look to the attachment.
Hope this helps

Code:
int nGroupCount = 0;
public object DoWork()
{
if (InValues.Length != 1)
throw new Exception("1 Inputparameter expected");
// get the first input parameter
string sIN = (string)InValues[0].GetString();
if (sIN == null)
return nGroupCount;
if (sIN.IndexOf("From:", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) >= 0)
{
// if we found the string "From: " in the line we have a new group
nGroupCount++;
}
return nGroupCount;
}
The Script checks each line. If the line contains the string "From:" then we have a new group or a new email.
