.*TO:.*;\s*(.*)

Be sure to set dot matches newline

In php (preg) this becomes

if (preg_match('/.*TO:.*;\s*(.*)/s', $subject, $regs)) {
    $result = $regs[1];
} else {
    $result = "";
}

To be 100% sure you are okay, use pattern /^.*\nSENT:[^\n]*\nTO:[^\n]*\n\n(.*)$/is

See and test the code here.

In case you migh have some whitespace characters in empty line after last "TO:" line, then use regex /^.*\nSENT:[^\n]*\nTO:[^\n]*\n\s*\n(.*)$/is
