Or just call (<http://opensource.bertram-scharpf.de/sites/cropmail>):

  mymessage.decoded =~ /.../u

Regarding multipart messages (untested):

  class Cropmail::Message
    def body_matches re
      if is_multipart? then
        each { |p,invisible|  # invisible is preamble or epilogue
          return p.body_matches re unless invisible
        }
      else
        decoded =~ re
      end
    end
  end

  mymessage.body_matches /.../u

Time for a Ruby ML Server?
