As far as AMS documentation the help file on AndrewSetup might be useful.

Debugging hints:
Use ams/msclients/cui/cui instead of messages, cui is a command line
oriented program it should make the debugging go faster.
ams/libs/ms/mswp.c and overhead/mail/lib/parseadd.c appear to be the
relevant files.
