Can a link be extracted? (Automating Emailer)

Hi,
I'm not doing too well with questions here of late. My last questions
here have gone zero for zero. Undaunted I press on...

I am trying to get Emailer to either command click on an HTML line in an
incoming message or to pull the HTML line out of it and set it to the url
of an active IE window. Is this something that I can use AS to do?

Using Emailers mail actions I can start the script.

The point is to monitor a specific forum, where I am waiting for answers
to posts. The forum will automatically send me an email notifying me that
some one has responded to my thread. Since all the message is the same,
same headier, subject and body, except for the link, I shouldn't need to
do a complicated grep pattern match to find it, should I?

Each alert message has two paragraphs, The first is who replied and the
name of the topic. The second is just one line as follows:

This topic is located at
HTTP://www.macgurus.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000566.HTML

Of course, the URL will be different depending on the thread.

The point of all this is to have a notification automatically take me to
the page under discussion.
Much thanks

Dave Groover
