data = [('460 (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)] {46}',
            'From: Friend <anon at anon.com>\r\n\r\n'), ')',
           ('462 (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)] {37}',
            'From: Kun <neurogasm at gmail.com>\r\n\r\n'), ')']

for s in data:
   if type(s) is tuple:
       print s[1][6:].strip().split()[1]

Gives:
<anon at anon.com>
<neurogasm at gmail.com>
