It is not lost, it is an empty line.
In [47]: print line2.split()

split has returned no content.
The line must have been empty (or full of whitespace
which strip() removed).
In [48]: print line2
In [49]: print line.strip()
Again it shows an empty line.
In [51]: print addresses

But this is odd since it shows the set containing the full line which
suggests you maybe did an add(line) instead of add(line4) at some point?
You have removed the code that tested for the first
word being "From". You should put that check back in your code.
If you do this it should fix the IndexError problem too,
since empty lines will not start with From
ie your loop should look like
for line in fh:
if line.startswith('From'):
# the loop body as it currently is
