Are you talking about the SMTP headers for the email? You don't discard it - you use it. That contains the To:, From:, Subject:, and Content-Type: headers, along with other headers that may or may not be useful to you. This is partly how email travels throughout the 'net (though the TO and most often the FROM - except for those mail servers that don't authenticate the sender, commonly used by spammers! - are also handled by the SMTP protocol regardless of the headers).
