Help with Rex or RegEx: How do I extract all lines after a string?

So my email using the iMail Mailbox comes in with headers like this.
I need everything after the "____________________ Message Body ____________________"

How can I look for this?

blah blah blah
MIME-Version = "1.0"
mailbox = "Inbox"
size = 23156
____________________  Message Body  ____________________

Let me know if this is what you are looking for:

| stats count | fields - count
| eval _raw = "blah blah blah
MIME-Version = \"1.0\"
mailbox = \"Inbox\"
size = 23156
Message Body

HOSTNAME\xx
SEQUENCE\xx
PARTNER_SYSTEM_xxx
PARTNER_SERIAL_NUM=xxxx
PARTNER_HOSTNAME\xxx
"
| rex field=_raw "(?msi)Message Body\s+(?<body>.*)"

Output:

body

Not really, I'm using this to try and extract the email body as i need to see the email headers, but need the body in its own field.

So it would return
Scanning server: xxxx
Time: Tue Jun 14 11:01:46 2016
Sender: xxxx
Recipient(s): xxx
Subject: xxx

File(s):xxxx
Other: Attachment: xxxx
GENERATED_ON=Tue Jun 14 11:00:33 CEST 2016
VERSION=xxx
SYSTEM_xxx
SERIAL_NUMxxxx
HOSTNAME\xx
SEQUENCE\xx
PARTNER_SYSTEM_xxx
PARTNER_SERIAL_NUM=xxxx
PARTNER_HOSTNAME\xxx

Sorry I'm confused. Isn't that what my code above is doing?
The regex will create a new field named body and the content is:

 Scanning server: xxxx
 Time: Tue Jun 14 11:01:46 2016
 Sender: xxxx
 Recipient(s): xxx
 Subject: xxx
 File(s):xxxx
 Other: Attachment: xxxx
 GENERATED_ON=Tue Jun 14 11:00:33 CEST 2016
 VERSION=xxx
 SYSTEM_xxx
 SERIAL_NUMxxxx
 HOSTNAME\xx
 SEQUENCE\xx
 PARTNER_SYSTEM_xxx
 PARTNER_SERIAL_NUM=xxxx
 PARTNER_HOSTNAME\xxx
