You have several choices in this case. By default, the System.Net.Mail doesn't offer the needed functionality, so you need to write the message parsing classes on your own.

However, there are libraries available that can make the task easier. You can try using either Mail.dll (it is not a free product) or you can take a look at C# Mail (which is free and open source).
